A Tremble of Light

Somewhat later than I intended, but a little bit of light for your day. I hope you enjoy it.

The candle light now trembles
In the growing gloom.
The hand that holds it wavers
It shows so little of the room.

Yet other voices whisper
Both with hope and fear
And the candle is still burning
Showing what is there.

Some voices come eager
And crowd into the light
And speak hope into the darkness
And so defy the night.

Some voices hide in shadows
Afraid to be made known
And huddle close together:
Another strength is shown.

Where e’re the light is falling,
The darkness cannot stay
The bitter winds are calling
But night must give way.

Another candle sharpens
And brings another glow
And brings courage in the darkness
Where some voice fear to go.

And so the voices raising
Up into the night
And the darkness cannot stand
As they walk into the light.
