Within my guidance

Within my guidance

I turn my back,

in my back, twice a day.

I would not say

it is goodness

or gratitude.

The night brings me

a new evening and when

I see the daylight,

my smile appears

to give the whitest light.

In the late afternoon,

I lighten some special candles.

Eternal fires of a flame

do not need to be enlightened,

again, more than twice.
