A little candle light

A flickering light flows across the room
changing the atmosphere all around
as the shadows flutter from a draft
that seeps under the door without a sound

The room`s corners appear to be so dark
for the candle is far too delicate
to light these foreboding areas 
as the light seems unable to penetrate

As the flame stutters from the breeze
the room begins to feel much colder
for this ghostly feeling send a chill
and makes you seem a little less bolder

So as the day fades in to darkness
the room`s corners seem a little lighter

as the shadows climb up the walls

for this candle tries to burn much brighter
