*Candle 🕯 at Dusk* 🌆 _As darkness falls_ _So your 🔥 flame_ _Grows even brighter 🔆_ _The night crowds in_, _Shadows rushing down on every side_ _But they do not put you out_ _And the flame that seemed_ _So small, so insignificant against the sun_ _Comes into its own with the deepening of the night 🌃_ _As a hen 🐔 shelters her chicken under her wings from danger_ _So the newborn shadows of the gathering dusk 🌆 fly to you_ _Darkness sheltering under the wings of light_ _Let your love draw all my shadows_ _Swiftly to yourself_ _So when night comes and fears and doubts and every kind of sin.... Will draw away_ *M.M*🌻
