My Faithful Companion
A Beacon of Strength in Lantern Light
Settling here on a winter’s eve
by the warmth of your embrace.
Weariness from the endless day
overcomes me,
but your light provides me
with the strength to start anew tomorrow.
***
As your wick gently sips oil,
I approach your glow
on this gloomy evening.
Following your halo,
I feel the courage to challenge
the dark times ahead.
***
With a hiss and crackle,
you burn your oil.
My faithful companion
showing your brilliance
as long as you’re needed.
***
Your flame begins to flicker
as I turn you down.
I trim the charred remains
of your wick,
knowing your flame will
burn bright for me
again tomorrow.
