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.
