A lone candle sits in a dark window It's flame dancing Casting inviting glows She ponders this candle While she stands in the cold The warmth it seems to give To the window so alone She wants to be there with it She bets it feels like home It is visible From the snowy street How she wishes she could go inside Rest her frozen feet Though this candle glows It's flame so inviting A transparent barrier prevents **It is her unattainable flame
