I have been trapped amid shadow before.
Longing for just a soft flicker
of candled light.

Even a slight,
dance upon wall of ghostly sight
would release me from this dark.

Light a candle my love, tonight
in your place of rest, and watch.

And know, that in the dance that is
displayed, I will find release.
