Candle

PoetryA Requiem
Written By Zachary Phillips
 

I’d like to be able to claim
That none can hold a candle
To your brilliance
But the truth is
They are but mere candles
Before you

Their light
Only blinding
Against darkness
Only blinding
In your absence

This poem is from the book A Requiem For What Could Have Been: Poetry For The Broken
