Darkness

Let the darkness be
As long as it could be
In a fight between
The flickering light of
A burning candle
And the blowing wind
The later succeeds
It blows it off
So that to spend its
Quite moment with
The seducing darkness
So don’t light the
Candle again
Let the darkness have
It’s moments too
And dwell with
Its secrets
So let the darkness be
As long as it could be.
