Within the flickering flame
Of black waxed candle
Something flitters - illumined -
Then lands on silver handle
Blinking out the brightness
Tiny creature of lace wing
Breathing deep the twilight
Softly begins to sing
Calling out to kindred
Serenading all who hear
Calling together brethren
To place devoid of fear
Outside frosted window
Within the spreading night
Glowing pinpoint creatures
Appear while taking flight
Singing out in triumph
Song that calls them home
Home to flickering candle
No longer shall they roam
Seduced beyond discretion
Feelings they can't name
Drive them to destruction
Within the searing flame
