One Sole Candle
March 29, 2019
One sole candle in the dark of the night,
But the flame flickers and soon it will die.
And to think! once it shone so very bright.
And yet, still the Heavens refuse to cry,
Even as I release my final breathe,
And to my loved ones, I whisper, goodbye.
The candle, oh it flickers close to death!
Casting many a long, dark, deep shadow
Ever so softly I breathe out that breathe.
I can feel the heat of the fire below,
I can feel its burning, stinging, evil bite,
On the road I must take I am solo.
There is one thing left that makes me still fight;
One sole candle in the dark of the night.
