Extent
I wonder, truly I wonder to what extent
do I resemble the moth as it delights in
the light of the flame. That frame of light
Shimmers in my life, but will I burn or might
I by fate be spared to glimmer in the night.
The flame delights and I covet its cosy charm.
Hovering uneasily just out of range, I wonder
dare I seek the heat, knowing I will burn, but
To what extent will I test myself to feel the heat.
the shadows of night fade away as gently i glide
into the light of love, allowing myself to burn and
be reborn, realising the extent to which I go for love.
But then love is the ultimate risk in life, to love
is a wondrous beauty,to live in complete harmony
with one another requires quiescent joy in our
acceptance of each foible life bestows upon us.
Thus to this extent I am completely immersed
