Come back

A candle in her window.
An invitation in the dark of night.
A portal to heaven's bliss.

Wonderful, Line. You take us from just lighting a candle to opening a portal, but to where? I really enjoyed this poem.~ Warren

I love the use of your word portal. It makes it seem otherworldly and it often is! Very nice Line! : )
