Unblown Candle, Unmade Wish

aspirations and desires

By MarkPublished 3 years ago 1 min read
A solitary flame waiting to be ignited, symbolizing unfulfilled aspirations and desires.

A solitary candle stands tall and unlit, its wick untouched by a flickering flame. The wax, pristine and unmarred, holds the potential to carry whispered wishes into the universe. Each passing moment is a missed opportunity, the chance for dreams to materialize and aspirations to take flight. The unblown candle becomes a symbol of unfulfilled desires, a beacon of hope patiently awaiting ignition. Its silent presence reminds us to embrace the present, to seize the fleeting opportunities before us, and to ignite the flame of possibility that flickers within our souls.
