Power outage
by Mr. Unknown
The lights flicker briefly
Before clicking out
No time to worry
No time to pout
You find the flashlights
And candles to ignite
Cast them aglow
No panic or fright
Continue a book
Or stock up a fire
The darkness reminds you of something
You begin to feel tired
As your head hits the pillow
In your mind, you pledge
“Thank you, oh thank you,”
“Dear power outage”
