Your eyes in Candel light
Its dim the natural light is beginning to fade…
A gentle wind begins to move forth over this day...
I search for light so that I may find my way to you…
Fumbling through life’s drawers I touch two candles
Mine and yours… I light the first one with steady hand
Watching the flame come alive in its brilliant ember…
Cobalt blue flame lays the foundation while a vanilla crown
Rest on top… I strike yet another match as it crackles to life
I light yours… Slowly it radiates to life… every movement
Every shape every form, dancing before my eyes. A beautiful
Moment steeped in a warm glow. Just alluring just wondrous
As it burns…Whist they burn along side one another they seem to dance
In a slow rhythmic movement complementing the other
Drawing on the energy and heat in a divine unison
The wind an envious element has now began to build out side
As the action causes your flame to move quicker and faster
I close every window and every door so as to not let your
Flame flicker away…As I move to stop this action, all is in vain
Alas I am to late… I was not strong enough in my measures to save
Your light…you are no more than a smoldering memory of how
Fleeting and beautiful a flame can be…
