A Lone Candle
A lone candle
On Halloween night
Softly burns
The traces exuded
Doesn’t burn my eyes
The light it creates
Lights up a small area
Confined spot
The shadows grow
Across the table
Is long and eerie
There’s a soft glow
That comes from the wick
It burns real slow
Down to the quick
Leaves soulful imprint
