Candle Light
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

My tears are falling raindrops,
Sliding down my glistened cheeks.
Rivulets of salty streams
Are coursing down in streaks.

I feel so lost and empty,
~Darkness swallowed up the Light.
It's time to burn a candle,
And have it shining bright.

At times like this, when lonely,
And drowning in my sorrows,
Candles lift my spirits,
By lighting up my morrows.


Love is the unifying force which integrates
one’s soul with that of another.
~ Linda L. Dowd

Candles always seem to get me down, instead of lift me up, but I'm glad it's different for you and you describe it beautifully. Much enjoyed.

Candles on the table, chocolates by your side, let sweet memories surround you and lift the sadness away. With deep feelings for you Linda. Time will heal but the love lingers forever. martyjo

It was so good to hear from you.

Perhaps from now on, the light of a candle could also bring you comfort.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply.

Your words were felt to my very core.

And thank you for the suggestions! They sound perfect! Now I have to manifest some of those chocolate treats!
