Candle

Though darkness surrounds you

light is near

Like sunlight through the foliage

in Autumn

It trickles through barely

but is there

Better days have your name engraved

like love for you is in other souls


Don't blow out the candle

cause the noise is crowding your mind

cause you can't see what is being left behind


Hate is brittle like winter twigs

and love is that unbreakable bough

high upon the tree


Nightmares only cease for better dreams

The gleam in your eye will return

A flame of hope will begin to burn


If you only keep the candle burning

you might just light another

then another...

Please tell me what you think

    and it's worth keeping the candle lit. i've come close to snuffing my own in the past, and i can tell you that i'm glad i didn't. i've learned so much, i've learned how to protect my flame, my soul, my heart. i've learned how to grow and connect with positive life affirming influences. i've learned how to live.

    we begin life as seeds beneath the snows, and one day the snows melt and we take root, rise up and blossom. but we have to be willing to withstand the winter and hold out for spring. spring will come.
