The night candle

Candle burning long and bright
Cutting darkness with its light
Dancing shadows dart and dodge
Whispers of a lost mirage

Understanding without fear
Frigid nighttime's constant leer
Unabated by the hour
Or the evening's growing power

Flickering more, just as strong
Steady as the night is long
Keeping with the promise made
To fight the black of the shade

Notwithstanding all that's said
Told, written and that's read
The lonely candle shine's its way
Until the coming of the day
