Candlelight
Candlelight
To witness important conversations, history in the making,
Always present beyond only shadows, my light for the taking.
The way I see this world, thus changing,
Lesson’s learned a midst your war, from injustice I see you raging.
The wisp of mans’ glow, up and down the field,
Weapons fired lively, sovereign casualties to yield.
Compromise mans’ written, subtle institutions,
Strong figures heavy hearted, declarations of solutions.
Ideas on ink wet paper, shadows cast amongst the wall,
To my wonder what mans’ planning, for my future come to call.
Circumstances of so many, a dim light undeniably needed,
The absence of my purpose, caused from fear, my light is pleaded.
My flames burn oh so’ brightly, lovers swiftly to and fro,
A guidance into passion, a newborn baby to come and know.
Evolved for centuries, I’ve coddled loved ones, characters immersed in the arts,
Monet, Shakespeare and Beethoven, Einstein relished to Mozart.
A new season for the burning, mans’ love for the lights,
A light bulb, dark halls changing, no wicks on stormy nights.
My historical presence proudly served, my honor not to be mistaken,
Succumb by a Yankee or Gold Canyon, fragranced purpose for the taking.
So many scents filling homes, during daylight hours,
Organized, strategic companies, an appetite for godly powers.
In a new light my scents roam freely, watching smiling families grow,
Very unlike those battlefields, wishing man didn’t come to know.
Moving forward a hope for progress, the darkness I will always fight,
Time evolves, brightness conquers, forever your friend “Candlelight”.
