The Flickering Flame

Has Its Own Dance

No Sound, No Music

But Still Mesmerising

A Beacon In A Shadow

Burning Brightly It Fades Embracing Darkness

A Message Left Behind

Hope Burns Eternal.

Watching the burning candle flame I am reminded of the impermanence of life. Like the fading of the flame so does our life. One never knows when the flame will be snuffed so it is better to appreciate beauty in present and cherish each moment but as I watch the burning candlestick I see hope despite it being consumed by fire it still continues to shine and illuminates the dark reminding that hope is always there even in dark to guide us through.
