Flickering Light

The candle burns with heat at night
Peaceful flame of flickering light
All worries melt with restful sight
Erased by new dreams of delight

A scent remains, things are alright
A calming moment can bring might
From flame within that does ignite
Within the soul that wants things right

It's nice to see your poems. Back to work so I'm on here less. But I'll always drop by to see what adventures you put in a poem. -Richard
