Into the flame I stare. It flickers to and fro. Silent dances in the night. For where have I to go? Eternally it burns, far into the night. A trance,unblinking, the bright orange light. Once simple candle, holds me in its lair. Calmly soothing me, into it I stare. Silently,slyly, it swallows me, and gently I follow.
