Gleam of Night

In the dusky night

we stood together by the silent window 

holding each other’s hearts in trembling hands

Gleam of candles lit beside the railed frame 

Us 

Known to be loved 

Left to be yearned 

Scattering droplets of grace from heaven 

rejuvenates the buried hope in our hearts 

Toiling to fight for the other one 

Only to be left behind by them
