The Wick of Lantern's Flame

Night enfolds me. Darkness is all around Too late to turn back; it's a shelter I seek A bed of leaves gathered upon the ground Shall serve well enough on a night so bleak Pinch the wick of lantern's flame until it dies My thoughts will be of you as I close my eyes November 29, 2021 Bite Size Poem no28 Contest Sponsored by Line Gauthier

Thank you very much, JD. It seems you're the only poet who finds it worthy enough to leave a comment, but so be it. I'm glad you liked it.
