Everyday moods can be easily
tainted by weather
Once night’s curtains are
drawn to reveal the day
Gloomy grey clouds influence
a first impression
Whilst inside candlelight
casts its cosy warmth
Illuminating all corners
of the living room
Shadows dance around
flickers of flame
Until shards of light gradually
tease my disposition
Inspiration impresses
itself upon a fresh imagination
Where clusters of
mysterious thoughts get together
Then dark and light merge
to become glorious creations…

I love the beauty of flickering candlelight, which does entice us into a happier mood.........on the grey days, I am always happy to be cozily indoors.........

I completely relate to the first line. I'm a little tired of grey gloomy days, and even one small candle seems to give off warmth and a happy sort of glow that can make any gloomy day feel better.
