CANDLE POWER

by LION'S EYE

Blackness like a blanket lays

upon the unseen land

the mountains round with silent sound

thrust up their mighty span.

Inky wells, no secrets tell,

for what is known by day,

has now become a nothingness

no shape to 'er betray.

Through the depths a light appears

with gentle, fragile flame,

a tiny spot by "Candle Power"

from darkness is reclaimed.

Weakly shine it's golden rays

the battle seems unfair,

but little does the candle know

that all have stopped to stare.

Even through this thickest night

with everything in doubt,

just a feeble candle light

has shown a straightened route.

Lifted up to touch one near,

from warmth to kindle flame,

another Light is given birth,

more night has been reclaimed.

One by one, their secret shared

'till slowly what had seemed

a terrifying, deadly place

becomes a  garden dream.

Clearly seen, now fear is gone,

the beauty is revealed,

and what was just a single light

has spread to fill the world.
