I am looking for a candle,

To light up the sky.

I am a wanderer,

Wandering in the growing darkness…

Tears in my blazing eyes.

How will it be then,

The sky so bleak and grey?

The horizon which is a dot

In the uncertain distance,

Will it be a sight of daybreak?

I’ve never tried before,

Lighting up the sky,

With just a candle.

In the unruffled glow,

I hope to find serenity.

There is life in my silence.

There is meaning to my grief.

I am destined to live

In a newer world.

Shall I ever find it?

The sun took away my head,

For vagrant offerings,

Against many scattered lies.

I hear the sound of the hour.

I read the writing on the wall.

Now, I am looking for a candle,

To light up the sky.

So thought I,

Wandering in the growing darkness…

Tears in my blazing eyes.
