The Candle Poem by Jennifer Birchall

The Candle

Rating: 4.8


On the old wooden mantle
Stood a candle, tall and slender
The layers of wax perfectly formed
A slight breeze from the open window
Sees it dance to it's own merry tune
It's been burning for some time now
A door slams shut, out it goes
But the wick still glows
It just takes a small spark
The flame will light up the room
Like the moon in the night sky

People feel the light but never think about the pain of candle. A perceptive little poem.... appreciated.

A door slams shut, out it goes But the wick still glows It just takes a small spark The flame will light up the room Like the moon in the night sky... Fine thought.... thanks
