Candle's at Night

Through the dark presence of shifted light of a simple candle

Becomes a glamor through time to handle

A drifted light twinkles through a wick through wax

It’s the settling mood that reacts

To the fragrance of lavender that fills the room

It places me in an essence of demeanor

To put toward my energy of adding to the coffee with creamer

For it sets the tone of any given place rather demented or graceful

Some can be used for pumpkins or set in the holder of an angel

Watch closely because it can start something to add to flame

For it’s not just in its holder it can proclaim

It takes shape in many ways through old fashion candle making

This is the dignity it drew with simple displaying

To any place you have it established through sight

A candle can also guide a lantern to flight

It determines sometimes the mood in any given situation

May have been there for the emancipation of proclamation

Through history it goes back as far as we can know it

Some say the Egyptians were the first ones to implement

But the Romans get credit for using the wick

And the Chinese made it with rice paper rolled in a stick

So it dates back more than 5000 years

The light was passed through generations through peers

To some it gave comfort on a death or remembrance

Of who or what happened to a resemblance

Tribute to the light of celebration that still burns bright

On any given day or night

That candle is a staple of magnitude of pure emotion

Through its generations of night’s devotion
