Analysis of 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.

Enjoy the arts most out of life. Expression is the best way I've come to know myself. As a performer and artist also of medium I have found in myself happiness to see another's pleasing face as reading or looking at my work. I pray a lot while performing or over the medium, so this touches my heart. more…
