The Mag - 187

"Life is a frail moth flying caught in the web of the years that pass." Sara Teasdale

The Moth and The Lamp by Cesar Santos

Night Traveler

Cometh

Serendipitously

  All along

I've milked these years
as if you were
a day-flier.

Caught
in the web
of all those years

and your evening flight-
 

I stand still

eyes closed shut

forever willing

I'd catch

your landing.
 

Touched by

the wings of a moth

in jest

I'd feel

a thousand spirits before me

taking flight.
 

 On the wings of chance
serendipitously.
