Clandestine Candlelit Night

The soft glow of candlelight,
Illuminates the night,
With flickering and dancing light,
Like distant stars in flight.

It casts shadows on the walls,
That move and sway,
As though alive and sentient,
In the silence of the evening day.

The candle burns so quietly,
Giving off a gentle and pleasant warmth,
It's like a friend that's silently,
Sitting beside you, in the calm of the storm.
