Transcendental Sonnet #1279
Magic Fire: Light from Heat

Here in the darkness where no one can see
Small windblown flicker of dark candlelight
Where no one can take you away from me

Ours is the darkness now ours is the night

Once you were one star but now you are all
Waxing and waning along with the moon
Here in the darkness here hidden with me

I carry you in my pocket by day
You are a shapeshifter now you are small
But you will fill the night with lightning soon

The evil one thought he took you away
He is so stupid he never will learn
Light from heat: you shine as I watch him burn

Along with my beautiful memory
