Two Candles

Written about two people I know who went through a lot of strife, came out strong together

I saw everything
Through your
Looking glass eyes
The world and its colors
The sky and its stars
And I heard more words
About beauty
About hope
Within the soul
That you hide
Behind your stained
Glass heart
And I know the pain
That demands to be felt
The sorrow
That begs to be heard
I know it well
As I too
Am a Dreamer
Who still believes
That the Sun
Rises highest
On the darkest of days
And that the stars
Are always shining
Even when it rains
Yes, I am a fool
With a gentle soul
And a fragile heart
But a fool who will soar
Among the stars
So come away with me
Cast off the chains
That bind you
To this misery
Spread your wings
And fly
Together we can cross
Out constellations
And dip our toes
In uncharted waters
Two candles
Against the wind
Burning bright
Against the darkness
