You told me when
my candle nears its bottom
to ring You up with
a  quick thought
a  quick poem
and You'd replace the old wick
without a hassle

You told me that
all it takes is
a  quick thought
a  quick poem
nothing special, just
a  quick thought
a  quick poem
and my queries will vanish with Your breeze

You didn't tell me
how long or
how many or
when to stop or
when to go
You neglected to supply meaning or
deliver direction of any sort
You said simply
a  quick thought
a  quick poem

now I'll extend myself,
because my flame is nearly out,
and I'm running low on
flicker and
motive

1
here I give You
my  quick thought
my  quick poem
tenfold!
hundredfold!
like You said

not as quick as
You or I surmised
but can You please tell me when to expect
Your confirmation of receipt for my

quick thought
quick poem?
