Candle

In the empty church, a candle flickers still,
Not yours, not mine, just an unspoken will.
We don't know: of health, of peace so frail,
That candle flickers in a spectral tale.

Golden light fills the sacred space,
Sliding shadows in the silent grace,
On ancient altar, shadows lie,
Like centuries past in a whispering sigh.

In silence, only echoes of praise,
Barely heard in the church’s haze,
WThe wax flows like a hot tear
Icons watch us from a  corners maze.

No soul, no trace in this hollow hall,
Only stars shining through the midnight pall,
The Aether melts, the flicker grows thin,
The Creator fulfills some distant whim

Time won't reach those heavy doors,
No summons now, no crowds, no lords,
Only silence, eternal peace,
Over sinful and pure thoughts, at last release..

The world beyond the fog is far away,
in this dim light you forget about the past day,
The candle fades, just smoke remains,
In this midnight church, where shadows reign.
