Fascination

Intent upon the light
behind her middle eye
she watched it globe and bob
until it settled
in a dip below her temple
where it flared, then paused like life
intending to be followed
through a tunnel to a door
marked exit.
She watched it hover on another level -
higher; great in patience,
just beyond her reach - for now,
when tantalizing in proximity,
it inflamed a sudden passion
in her heart to cling on till she flowered
wings to follow. Almost
burnt, absorbed within the abstract
of a promise, she thought
the instant she learnt Latin
she'd come back to this
and write it out again, cleverer,
though no doubt, less compelling...
But she never got to write it.

My first thought on reading this was light at the end of the tunnel - which can be taken in all sorts of ways. A glimmer of hope and some sort of decision. Lovely.

Floaty. Ephemeral. Is this a branch away from your usual style? I am like a moth to the light and am going back to it.
