Someone’s Lit A Candle
By birksy
Someone’s lit a candle in the window, a heart shaped one, a beacon of their love and affection, to be seen by everyone who passes. It’s very sweet, a warm glow lights inside me as I watch, it warms places hard to reach. Then, as I stretch to see it go, I think I see the candle touch the curtains that surround it, and in a moment they will start to burn, but now it’s far from sight, and I can’t be sure that what I saw was real, and within my heart, those lit places slowly cool.
