One Candle
Sun is set
day is gone
shadows are lost
darkness comes
and with in
to face the night
last candle is lit
its light cast
the room though small
too large still
for flickering light
from candle small
day is gone
light is lost
darkness grows
stealing all sight
each small breath
of air disturbed
casts flickering fear
of failing light
as minutes grow
in hours lost
and wax consumed
forever lost
in sputtering end
as flickers fail
the darkness falls
