Candle



The world revolves around many Joys to remember,
 Like the light of a candle as it Burns to a cinder.

Peace is brought to the one who Lit it,
 And no one is to ever forbid it.

The flame flickers making the Shadows dance,
 Each time building a new Romance.

Fragments of light relevant to life,
 Reflections above relevance of  Love.

To touch it is to learn fire can Burn,

But for each one lit,
 The world takes a new turn.
