Flickering Candle Light -Win

The prevailing light encircled by darkness I hear whispers of light in night’s calmness A choir warbling bidding out “Iris! Iris” That engrossed look, rapt delight of Iris. Flickering and playing she gleams And with it my hopes and dreams gleam In light it dances and sways left and right Like my Iris swayed in my arms in delight Like a ballerina she dances casting shadows on walls Reflecting its beauty thro’ the windows of my soul The flame casting its light, enlightening the darkness What a symbol to embrace in night’s calmness.
