allegory,
Grapes slumbering; on..'
Leafs shading, yeast patina'ed fruit..
Sun-downers tonight..!
Grapes ripening on..'
Vine gripping seasoned trellis.
Purple skies..' ( thirst )
Grapes burgeoning on..'
frame groans; the labourers gains..'
Andean moth drinks..!

Candle Moth flies to
The light falls drunkingly down
Returns to the light
(The moth is bound to get way to hot but does the same thing over and over. That is the
way with some people that keep doing the same thing over and over and never learn from
their mistakes.)

adventure, animal, devotion, faith, light, night, senses,
A light soft flutter
Faithfully carried a moth
Intent on escape
Left the world behind
Through the light and to the moon
She flew quite softly
Flying by and by
Only to see what awaits
Across the night sky
