Candle Light

The light flickered in the dimly lit room

And went out with a hush

It moaned and creaked

As if it was hurt

And there I saw myself

Bright as the flame

Not as fragile, but still in pain.

And as I flickered in the dim

My embers grew with the wind

And as my flame burned brighter with the day

I knew that my life was saved.

The light illuminated the dimly lit room

And brightened with lush

It sung and roared

As if it lived

And there I saw myself

Bright as the flame

Enlightened and forever engraved.
