PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Dull white ,cold, lifeless, the wax candle
White cotton wick awaiting darkness
Power failure- darkness descends
Worth of the humble candle is defined
Lighting up the blind eyes
The humble candle is oft undermined
Springs merrily into life
Its warm ,inviting, glowing flame
Shattering  solid darkness- its heavenly halo
Sacrificing - crying,melting,dying silently
Dying  fading into history......
Its solid glory kissing the ground
In our societies are there such candles around ??
