A FLICKERING SOUL

By Charles Robert Lindholm 

She was a candle in the wind
that brighten up
the darkness of the night
with the light she
brought into my life 

She warmed my heart
with her flame
as it flickered
and fluttered
inside her soul
and protected me
from the cold
and lonely
winters of life 

My days were always
brighter with her
by my side
and for me
the sun could
not compete
with her 

A candle in the wind
that flickered
and fluttered 

A Flickering Soul
a beautiful flame
that I shall
love forever
