The Flower of Fear (a botanical description)

Not endemic of any place 
It grows anywhere if given space
Its petals made of delicate translucent white
are fully open at night.

It catches even the most distracted eye.
The contrast of its brightness against the dark
make them look like lamps that leading into a path

It attracts as a candle flame the diving moth: 
the beauty of fear is deceiving
Still we choose to pick those flowers.
