My candle has blown out again
But it will reignite

Though as I sit here in the dark
I see no end in sight

The pool of black it drowns me,
I'm all alone once more

There is  no way out of this toil,
No ship to take to shore

I must wait now, patiently
even though time stands still

Wait and breathe and stay afloat,
til once more with hope I fill

Buoyant again, for a time at least
Until day turns to night

My candle has blown out again,
but it will reignite
