The night was dark
My eyes wandered, searching for light.
In the darkness,
My fingers felt
That moist, chalklike surface of a matchbox.
I lit a match,
And realized I had not a candle.
As my eyes dart around anxiously
For that blessed candle, my mind wanders.
Will I burn my fingers,
Or go back, to darness, to blindness.
