Candlelight

By J.A. DiSilvestro

 

I sit by candlelight,

The flame flickers, shadows move,

The candlelight makes the winter’s night a delight,

My books glow and no one seems to know.

 

The shadows move when the flame flickers,

Light dances on the walls, shadows disappear, afraid I sit,

My books glow and no one seems to know,

Alone I sit, alone I stay, alone I am.

 

Light dances on the walls, shadows disappear, afraid I sit,

Out the window I stare at winter coming fast and near,

Alone I sit, alone I stay, alone I am.
