Candlelight In the Wind

Lighting the candle
To step forward with luster 
To reduce the darkness
Passing over blindness

Like the night fireflies
Long scouting in the sky
A trip to the moonless land
A queue of blinking light bands

Dim candles glow,  
Help prevent missteps,  
Guide the way with pep,  
To achieve the intended goal. 

Helpful candlelight
Since the wick was lit
Flip-flops in the velvet wind
Yet it firmly illuminates within
