a million candles

In the midst of the dark house, I came upon a garden of white flowers
which smelt of night jasmine.

Through the garden was a path. I followed the path out of the house,
and came at last to a hill.

I climbed the hill and sat on a boulder and watched the sun come up.
I looked back at the house

And saw that it shone with the light of a million candles.
