Candle

A candlelit,- to bring upon light_ in the midst of darkness

A flame flickering,- as if it's snickering, taunting the phantoms_ that crawl across the walls

This small light,- radiates

Illuminating, shadows casted

Behind,

  - this light shines_ in front

Outnumbered,- yet it reaches into the depths, _ corners

This light,- as if circled by enemies

Shines,- it's light steadily

Lit,- no matter the dim

It flickers,- as time passes by.
