Whispered Wanderings

after Edgar Allan Poe

Be silent in that solitude
that falls with dark of night;
sit quietly within yourself
and muse by candle-light.

Allow your cares to dissipate
for they are nothing more
than remnants of the day that’s done
you’ve no need to explore.

And mesmerized by dancing flames
you’ll see yourself anew –
so welcome who you really are:
allow YOU to break through!
