I stand at the edge
of the abyss—dark, cold, lost
with a single flame
to illuminate
the midnight chaos ahead.
Quivering candle
to drive away dark...
it will never be enough
to defeat the night.
I toss my pale light
into the pit where it falls
a wavering star
the ghost of a sun
plummeting past sad faces
I only now see.
Momentary shine
proves I am not all alone
on this precipice.
In absolute dark
a small spark makes a difference.
I strike a new match.
