The Moth

[errantember]

Without the heat
it's only light
like fireflies
in endless night.
Without the risk
it's just a game
bright raver's toys
not Dragonflame.
You soak the risk,
you choke and learn
most times you soar
sometimes you burn.
Sometimes you take
fuel so deep
you deprive friends
of needed sleep.
You tap the earth
seduce the fae
and burn the darkness
clean away.
A goddess true
this thing you are
is beauty
fire cannot scar.
My fears remain
they block my path
they dog my steps
and draw my wrath.
So cut my chains
and seal my wrists
with DemonsheAngeles kiss
light my path
to help replace
an infant's steps
with shaman's grace
my toils to forge
of scattered light
a soulfire spear
to split the night
then let the darkness
fear my name
I am the Moth.
Show me the flame...
