A Simple Candle

Burned

By Colleen WaltersPublished 12 months ago • Updated 12 months ago • 1 min read

Sweet scent of

Love

Acceptance

Selflessness

Understanding

heady intoxication

fabrication of Hope

thought lost

in the hovering chaos

creating clarity in the

swirling haze

brightly colored tendrils

of happy wafting

above the trees

up into the sky

painting dawdling

clouds with brilliant

colors, hues hewn in

the joy of

authenticity and

being seen

being known

being fully

understood

with Christ at

the center

as it should be

the candle burns down

the clouds remember

well the days

when they felt

bright colors

stain their grays

happier times

when a little world

felt so right

when a simple

candle burned

sweetly bright.
