Candle In The Window

The solitary candle gleaming in the
window always proves that her momentary
glances at it are measuring the snowfall,
watching the church steeple out so far,
further than God's Country need be.
The glasspanes have been kept clean and
the candle has no other better place.
It's garnered wreath about the base
gives it that touch of a Thorny Crown.
For clearer reasons it dances in the
light well. When it's Christmas Eve
it's Advent season.
She can now return on her own from the
sea to grip the cold knowing
that the snowbird eyes her passage
to the candle with measured caution.
