A Candle in the Night

candle in the night
very cooling to the eyes
soothing to the soul

the flame does flicker
in cool breeze blowing
like a rhythmic dance

my heart strikes the chords
to this choreography
performing alive

Took me back to the power

Took me back to the power cuts of the seventies raj,
candle light is an almost other-worldly experience for me.

Muchly enjoyed..... Obi.

Hi again Alan

swapping does for may would alter the context that it is about what is being witnesed

adding another syllable in the third line though may improve meter will spoil the 5-7-5 sequence of this piece...i will see though if there is a way to improve the meter..

thanks again..
