The Moth and the Lamp

The Moth and the Lamp, Cesar Santos 

She held on to the light in the dark,
That lit her path, that gave her comfort,
She was a wizard, a sorceress,
But without the light,
Without her source she was left powerless, helpless,

The long journey had led her here,
Her path was now clear,
She felt all life slip away,
Her breath, stolen from her,

Her wings gave their final flutter,
Her shoes slipped from her feet,
She realized, it was time,
She exhaled one last breath,
As the light left her eyes.....
