I saw a candle in the wind this evening
The single flame lonely in the exposed vastness of the world. My mind wandered, a vison of comfort.
2 people in the dark, with a candle illuminating the room. They hold each other for warmth and together share a bond, a peace, a stillness. A feeling of comfort. One knowing the other wishes good will towards the first and vise versa.
They clasp hands and breathe deep the darkness, sharing the calm, sharing the night.
Outaide the rain and the thunder are harmless. Only a distant noise that is somehow calming in its rage. The couple knows they are safe and take solice in the knowledge.
The spark of thier touch keeps thier hearts beating evenly. No words are spoken, none are needed. For they know that neither will disturb the calm they have found. A simple unspoken trust.
The candle flickers but burns the whole night through. The only source of controlled chaos. Its light and warmth reflected on the skin of the face of the couple.
They sleep.
