I prefer the devoted light of a simple lantern
Dazzling lights with excessive brightness obfuscates vision
Inspires dreams that are synthetic, induced by devious photons
Dancing deliriously to change the patterns of thoughts
Light of the lantern is more subtle and immerses calmly
Sitting beside a lantern is meditative as its warmth has purity
Walking with the lantern to the darkest part to illuminate gracefully
There’s no hurry in the flames to devour silence
The soirée takes an interesting turn when there’s no clamour for space
Everyone settles down with ease and surrender to positive feelings
Conversations are a source of joy when they inspire the heart
Lantern does not demand attention, humbly provides light to every soul©
You are so right, the light of a lantern and that of a candle to many is soothing, romantic – it is to me. And btw. Every time I open up your page I see ……… sort of tranquility in your header photo – I just love this one.
