Spark of Madness: Creative Challenge

The Scratchpad №42.5

“You’re only given a little spark of madness. You mustn’t lose it.”

— Robin Williams

Firefly

The forest floor

Alive, and you

before my eyes

Flashing, flying

So many dying

You lure your prey

And life itself

Extinguished.

A sadness

Speaks to that little spark of madness

Deep within

Us all

Powerless to resist

Your drugging pull

We fall

There is no saving us now
