A solitary light
Flickers soft and slight
Through the velvet night.
Whispers in the dark,
“Sorrow sent me”—
Now a fleeting barque.

This light
Trembles, shy,
Holding secrets
As the night slips by.
A dance of warmth,
A tender sway—
A brief, sweet display of day.

In its flicker,
Desires cast,
Stumbling through silence vast.
In the stillness,
Shadows kiss,
Forbidden love, pure bliss.

The light reveals
What must remain,
Hidden passion, all the pain.
Let it flicker,
Let it wane,
This beacon through the darkened plane.

For in its dance,
Its soft disguise,
Heaven whispers, close, nearby
