Use the Light, Ignite the Flame

The keeper of the nighttime flame
Stands vigil in the courtyard of emotion
Where he enlightens the many who wander
Through the entrance of new found love
His light teaches the many of burning heat
It lights the way for all to find their hearts
As they may have been locked behind
The walls outside these very gates

Something lurks behind the walls Michael. I could relate it. The metaphors were so brilliant. Love, Chitra
