Candle Light
Ax.Barajas 1980 (Illinois)
Candle light, flame burning bright.
A Candle in the wind.
Bend, sway, twist.
You stay afloat always glowing.
No matter the weather or the wind that
brushes across your flame.
Whispers in the dark.
Your light shines through like a
small laser beam.
Shatters inside the dark black hole
of this dark room.
Burning bright, head strong.
Although weary and tired.
Sweat at the neck.
Wax melted running down your back.
No matter what you remain bright.
Window opened far across the room a
gust of wind brushes it's whip it's viper
tail across your face.
Your burn out no time to react.
Space turns cold shadows evolved
A thin streak of smoke rises in the
air leaving your trail on the burned wick.
No need to panic, all it takes is
one more spark to ignite your flame.
Like a tiny phoenix you rise again head
strong burning bright.
Candle light burn bright your flame
will show the way to never give up
and to never lose hope.
