The Candle Poem by Audrey Heller

With the hurricane season upon us,
nothing is hum drum. We already
had a taste, of what was yet to come.
Suddenly, without warning the sky
opened up, with all it's fury. It gave us
everything it got. The rain kept pelting
us, with gusts of wind. It tied your
stomach, into a knot. At that moment,
we lost our power. With the air no
longer running, you could feel the
sweltering heat. It was just about supper
time, but no one, cared to eat. We were
now it total darkness, there wasn't any
means of light. By some miracle, I found
one beautiful candle. When it was lit, it
guided our way, into the night!
