DRAWN TO THE LIGHT (new poem)

DRAWN TO THE LIGHT

What draws you to the light?
You are dancing by the fire
But never step in
Like you know it will burn
And you will shrivel and die
I will miss you
With your wings so thin

Are you chasing a destiny?
Like I am running away from mine
That is so divine
So sublime

Maybe if I look into the fire
I might see what my heart desires
A flame that will burn
Endlessly
Eternally

What are you seeking?
From the fire light
Enlightenment
Contentment
Or just to come to the light
Just for the feel of the fires
Warmth and delight

I have no fear of the light
It is the dark that
Is shrouded in mystery
But the fire is our shining light
Without a shadow of doubt
