The flame is alive
but it’s fighting
trying to burn on
I watch in amazement
at the struggle
and eventually
turn my eyes
from the pain
The flame is alive
and it falters
for a moment
but then burns bright
I see it dance
in the shadows
and shimmer
in the reflection
off the chandelier

I feel like the candle, but a few weeks further gone.
I hear you, my friend.
Scattered….a hot poem
Candles
Candles are for many occassions
Some happy…
Some sad,,,,
Funerals and birthdays
And good times I had..
Alas…candlles do burn out
It’s the circle of life we know
Let’s get the bees a workin
For more candles and memories to show
Love it! Thanks Russ!
This is such a beautiful depiction of the flame. The flame is such a great subject and you did a wonderful painting of it.
Thank you so much. I don’t know what it is about the mesmerizing effects of fire whether it’s a simple candle or a bon-fire, but I enjoyed writing it.
It was a wonderful read. Thanks so much for capturing it with your words! Loved the photo.
I wish I could take credit for it, but I cannot. Thanks again.
Geez – thank you! Your comment actually made me look again, and somehow the caption and credit for the photo never got added. I fixed it. That’s what I get for trying to do this when I have a migraine
