Candle Light

Candle light
Shines through a window
At midnight ~
Pure beacon
Beckons to lost travelers
Come!  Find your way home.

Hello Sam, First and foremost, I am deeply flattered by your slant on my contest entry, Survival. I appreciate that. In turn, I’d like to reciprocate by congratulating you on your peerless piece, Candle Light. A haunting work, very philosophical, empowering. Howard

Thank you, Paige! Was leaving a church back east one snowy night and felt the welcoming power of candles in the windows of a house. Like a guiding hand reaching out to the traveler! Gratitude and blessings to you!
