Candlelight Read
Outside the wind howls
Inside nice and warm
A little girl sits
Unaware of the storm
By candlelight
On the window ledge
So engrossed by her book
The characters are read
Butterflies and dragons
Leap from the pages
Captured by the story
As her mind engages
Dragons swooping
As the butterflies flutter
So intense in her read
No words are uttered
The candle dims
As she reaches the end
Unaware of the presence
That her book pages send
To her bed she goes
As she dreams through the night
Reading her book by the window
In the candlelight
