What becomes of us
now that we have lost our sight

how did light switch with night
leaving the moths

the spotless monarch swarms,
less color & clarity

formless, bodies fall,
edges ebbed as in sanity.
God is in the shadows,
the devil’s in delight.

Ive no wisdom to answer your poetic ponderings...but this moth thanks you for the verse and the not so blind insight.

Among the kingdom of the winds ...
perhaps there is one of elegant mind,
who has no need to intrude on the solitude of single things.

Sometimes we just
have to share a candle
to enlighten the pondering
even more...

Very nicely written, though sad....but such
wisdom within.
