A faint breeze stirs <br />As the storm approaches <br />An inner flame is sheltered <br />Behind reassuring walls <br />Protected from the squall <br /> <br />A lit candle burns… <br />Not an ordinary candle <br />But one that can heal <br />Forming a halo of light <br />Able to restore sight <br /> <br />As the storm clouds pass <br />A secure calm spreads <br />While a glow reemerges <br />The air fills with tranquility… <br />Free of smothering density<br /><br />Theresa Ann Moore<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-candle-burns/
