Candlelight

Candlelight

A soft golden glow bathes the room in its warmth
The world stops for a moment …
Time stands still and allows our trials and worries
To fade into a tranquil blanket of peace and security

A softhearted melody emerges in the background
Giving birth to the personality of the night
White curtains of lace flirt with a summer breeze
As playful shadows dance freely across the room

Framed memories of yesterday adorn a dusty mantle.
While next to them lie a fragrant bouquet of crimson roses
Dusting the air with their sweet scent of serenity
Soon a gentle night rain begins its lullaby

A pair of shining footprints reflect the candlelight
In a path leading from a warm bath to the bedroom
Light sounds of passion and laughter echo off the walls
As this home is filled with the beauty of love and life
