Poetry by Jamie McKenzie

Light a candle or two or three

Light a candle or two or three
When things go awry
When your mood dampens
And dreams start to curdle
Stillborn
Light a candle or two or three
Let their soft light kiss your soul
Drive sadness into corners
Send despair limping out the back
Light a candle or two or three
Fill the room with warm, glowing light
Lift a glass of wine
And toast the new year
The promise of good times
Rolling
Rolling
Rolling
