AWAITING

Little candles fail
to illumine the deity
or golden dome
in the valley darkness reigns
and god too awaits light

Whispers in the dark
the flickering of candles
outside my window
the night sky ripe with dreams (stars)
waiting to be harvested

He was melting her warmth.
She wasn’t the candle.
She was the Grace of soul,warm enough to melt his heart.

Moonlight and shadow
Ebb and flow
I become the candle
And find myself
Melting
Into the dark
And endless depths
Of your eyes

Dandelion seeds in the wind,
The first star of the night,
Birthday candles blown to smoke,
Years pass,
No sign of promised delight.
