Sometimes

byMikeIvy©

Sometimes I live in a dark place
Lit only by a single candle
Around it flutter misplaced thoughts
On what is wrong and what is just.

This candle has burned for years
Never getting shorter
Its shadows, the wind chimes of my mind
Play across the reason for being.

Someday he will hear the chimes
That ring so loudly in my mind
And in that moment understand
I've snuffed out the candle forever
