Flame.
April 8, 2021
Oh, dancing flickering flames,
Why do you threaten me with your burns?
Why do you burn against the wick?
Dancing and spitting red embers into the sky,
Oh, flame glowing so bright, why do you burn away your life?
Flickering and shining with orange light.
You light the darkness with a newfound light.
Oh, dancing, flickering flame why, are you still here?
You burn away the wax and the paper, leaving ashes in a return favor.
Flame, burn bright, and dance away; only leave your light and heat to stay.
As you flicker and fade away, you are no more a dancing nor idle,
For only ashes and wisp of smoke remain once you go away.

Do waste your life. Even a little light from a dying candle can still give enough light for me to write this.
