-- As the Candle Burns Low -- by John Herlihy The candle once bright Still burning ever low Now dim in the night Hear the cry of a crow What was it to be heard The wind a blast of air Cries of a heartless bird The whispers of a prayer As restless wolves howl The night otherwise still A panther on the prowl Breath white with chill On the land virgin snow As the candle burns low - - - - - Copyright © John Herlihy Saturday 23 August 2024

Rich. You've combined unique images to an often dealt with subject, the candle. I particularly enjoyed the span of Nature you brought into focus. Excellent.
