… when

When everything feels shaky

The path scarce and unsure

We ask a candle to see the truth

Tonight I light this one for me.

For all of the the why nots

The could be’s

And maybe yes

Or perhaps we’ll see?

As the flames flicker and dance

I ask for fate to give but a chance

Where does my soul belong?

Which direction leads the way home

I can hear the song through the trees

But wind howls to distract me

Shoring up my courage

I follow the flame

Unflinchingly

For I know it’s your heart

Calling longingly out for me.
