Stories By Candle-Light

the last traces of daylight fade away
shadows arrive to takes their place
I see the soft siloette of your face
we gather around to remember...
memories come to the surface
feelings we long to embrace
new understandings a moment away
rekindled into a glowing ember
transfixed and radiant
eyes hungry and ears patient
remind us all of heart-felt rhymes
tell us about the best of times

tell me stories by candlelight
tell me how it was before we
all signed up for our busy lives
