The Moth and The Flame

The moth is drawn 
It knows not why nor how
The flame has a magnetic quality
It is pure chaos
Like a train wreck 
One cannot look away
It will consume all that it is allowed
The moth knows it is a death spiral
It cares not
The flame need not reciprocate
Perhaps it is the consumption by flame that gives life tragic meaning and transient beauty
