Light One Candle.

December darkness creeps in for so many days of night before the light of spring returns.

Endless agonizing days of winter’s wrath choke me with despondency and despair.

One candle flickers. I focus on its lonely glow to keep me.

    Such a morbid piece but perfectly in keeping with the cold dread of winter. I like the creeping in the first line that matches the lonely glow at the end.

    Definitely know this winter feeling. I like that it ends on just “keep me” rather than “keep me ___” – sometimes just keeping on is a great accomplishment.
