SCENE, by                    
First Line: The voices lulled on covering the air with weight
Last Line: And these were only two white candles.
Subject(s): Candles; Reunions


The voices lulled on covering the air with weight
Outside, the sky was bleak and grim.
The only warmth lay in two white candles
That poured a fallow light
Into the leaden room.
Their glow shadowed the faces of the group
Softening, and purging them
Of all distrust and doubt.
The shadows of the candles leaned against the wall.
The light of the candles stretched the room tall
And poured in something pure.
And these were only two white candles.
