These miles unfurl
from here to there
These miles be
a barrier to break through
between you and me
I walk with your shadows and
sleep with your silhouettes
I am with a memory of you
of us
The candle
we set out to light,
I leave it on the porch
it flickers it brightens it dims
as pages and numbers flew
I leave it on
let it be
Even when the darkness grips you by the hand
drags you for miles
and miles away
Will you leave the candle on?
for me?
