Three Candles

Three candles light the sea
All is quiet
Tony distractions – the eastern sky
Fool me once fool me twice

Tonight’s touch of illusion

Something whispered against the wind
Words scatter
Sweet confusion blissful lunacy
Bits of wax – moon drops on the sea

Tonight

Three candles to light the sea
Come together rope, wood, and steel
Out of body outside of time
Driftwood dancers – splinters of the mind

Time began, still never seen
All together
At the edge ships become the waves
Candles honor – the stars in their flame
