Like a moth to a flame
I draw near to your light
I bask in the heat
Drawn close to your might
Fear courses through me
And a thrill of delight
Should I give in to my yearning
Should I give up the fight
Or should I start running
Take to airborne flight
With a look of iron
Last glance at the night
I fly to the fire
Enveloped in its light
With my last breath I smile
At the flame so bright

ooo loved this one

I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
