That Candle of the Heart is Searching (12/22/2024)

Cheers and screams of lovers are coming,

thanks to that candle of joy.

But, how strange!

That candle was already lit when it was brought in,

yet there are no moths even near it.

Here is a candle better than any day and night.

O soul, hurry up.

That candle of the heart is searching for a soul.
