the instant before the kiss
Chances
by Chandler

Candlelight on a Moonless Night
by Chance

Darkness surrounds me
strangely exciting
Yet silently alone
Waiting quietly for the shepherd

You are my light
tiny as candlelight
Everpresent and near
Constant beacon to my soul

Like an unchartered trail
I must seem greatly intringing
In the shadows of
Candlelight on a Moonless Night
My shadow runs from itself
and my soul reflects in the light

I was meant to shine
Never having found the key
to breath in the light
Sooner or later its over
I just don't want to regret
What I was meant to be

The Candlelight is beautiful on me
yet a a force pulls me towards something
Perhaps the burning hot sun's shining light
I want to see me
But I fear knowing
Without Candlelight on a Moonless Night

So walk with me into the light
and rejoice with me for I will have lived
What more could a boy want
Than he's lived his life
In only the Candlelight on a Moonless Night
