The Last Candle

A Light Before the Dark

By Muhammad AbdullahPublished 7 months ago 1 min read
A photo captured by ME

A flicker clings to the silence of night,

whispers of flame defying the end.

Ashes recall what stars forget—

a soul once burned to softly mend.

Hope is a breath we borrow and spend,

fading between what is and was.

The dark arrives, but not alone—

it kneels where memory gently glows.
