A CANDLE

Contributed by lovingcritters on Monday, 17th November 2003 @ 07:47:48 AM in AEST
Topic: Lifepoems



He carefully lit the stem,
and set it next to him.
And this is what we heard.
"A candle, much like our life.
Flickering, and trying to stand,
Winds wail, our careful hand.
It's warmth of our hearts,
and melted wax below.
I love candles, relaxing,
memories will grow.

Like our lives unknown,
It's life remains in it's flow..
A top the wax that melts
so it's radiance may glow.
Steady flame, tranquility...
Aura....looking o'er
end of a day's remorse, and
sadness turned to lore.
As the heart warms the wax
that melts down below.

It's warmth encourages kind thoughts
no regrets, or threats,
Breathing will entice the flame.
Endurance, no blame,
brings it back again....
The wax will continue to melt
as the warmth in our soul
can be felt, down below.

Canyon created, high walls.
Glass enclosure, no falls.
Mesmerizing pattern shade.
Calmness, unafraid.
A loving heart's warmth,
Invisible hurts or echo,
are melted like wax
down below.

When the light grows dim
There's a stillness within
Yet the warmth of a heart,
and the warmth of that soul,
Will still remain,
in the wax,
melted down below."
