It came like a flash
A candle so bright it blinded me.

At once a sunset grew within my eyes
So beautiful and free.

Knowing it would burn out
I greedily stared into its flames.

Until my sight became clouded
By the dancing red dames.

In darkness I felt a warmth
More vivid than any sight

True beauty is not seen
But feeling gives true light

Impossible colors appeared
Among the newly formed shadows

Painting a scenery
More beautiful than golden meadows

Joy fills my heart now and forever
as tears ran down like flowing cascades

It left in a flash
A candle that now fades
