Sense Sonnet - Acher

 I Must

I am nocturnal and rely

Upon the glimmer of moonlight

For my nightly travel that I

Instinctively do with my flight.

But there's times the moon does not show,

And in that time any light will

Be a lure to which I must go,

A destiny I must fulfill.

Tonight, no moon but a campfire

Is what I see, and in my mind

There is a compelling desire

To approach, unknown what I'll find.

It's just my nature that I came,

A moth encircling the flame.
