a flickering candle

the one white light shining through constantly

it flickers and waves but doesnt show sign of giving out

none can dowse it, but it will try

by blocking out the light like clouds in the sky

with sunlight peeking through, but does it really matter?

the sunlight doesnt stop the rain, or the storms, or the suffering

not even the sun can stop lightning

how i wish it could, but everyone knows that is futile

to hopelessly wish and blindly trust something you know wont make a difference

the clouds may cede, but will always show

the wind may be calming, but will always blow

the eminating glow

in the middle of the dark

has made its way through, despite all its faced too

it seems it will prosper

but that is a lie

the pulsating light covered by a red eye

of judgement, torment, silence, and stillness

of weakening, withering, poison, and illness

the white shine begins to fade

will it come back another day?

well not now, it seems

for the clouds are out again

the storm was brewing before

and it is sunset once more
