Darkness To Light

Darkness to Light

She lit a candle, the darkness did scare,
The loneliness closed in, no hope but despair.
The flame crackled, it flickered a little,
It fought the wind, but it did not melt away.
Her heart ached, but no sign of relief,
Her mind pondered, it was only despair.
The dark night, long and whistling,
Raced through, the willows trail.
She gazed at the flame, suddenly
The drop trickled, and slid down.
It fringed the base, and something within,
Stirred, her eyes watched in amazement,
The steady blue flame, it had made its
Presence felt, standing straight and tall,
The wind in the willows, whistled,
But to no avail, its warmth spreading,
Its glow tearing the night, yet forging ahead,
The struggle was over, the fears were none
With head held high, it fought darkness,
Now it showed pride, the fearless one.
It burned through the night, and
More to spare, it befriended her through
Fears, a true friend indeed, for now,
As daybreak came in, the light of hope
It spent itself, in friendship and warm comfort
She remembered its kindness, courage
Not in vain, it taught her to fight
And never give up, for remember life,
It’s a journey for the Fearless and Brave.
