VJs Weekly Challenge: Risk-Reward

“Only those who risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go.” T.S. Eliot
To burn,
catch fire,
wince with pain,
recoil, return,
like a moth to the flame,
a zeppelin alight,
all warnings ignored
my fingers to the fire,
a searing, scorching heat,
they urged me back,
to be near her is risk,
a reward enough.

Very kind indeed, and happy to be so, though with everything at the moment probably won’t get to do the requirements of it, but I thanks you for that very much.

What a beautifully evocative poem! It reminds me of Virginia Woolf’s exquisite essay ”The Death of the Moth.”
The quote by T.S. Eliot is an impeccable choice, as well!
