Sitting in a candle's glow
Deepening darkness, evening slow
Sea murmuring nearby
Stars glittering in the sky.
Rapt in candle's dancing flame
Frogs crooning their mating game
Cicadas chorus, night's awake
Fragrance filled - this haunting ache.
Leaning forward, I blow off the light
Nature's revealed in a Prussian sight
Pain's soothed - a mere attachment to glow
At ease in dark, and timeless eons flow.
