That Candle Stick
Burn bright does the flame upon this candle stick
The darker the room becomes the brighter it burns
So dynamic a flame, yet so stagnant its home
To remove the ignorance, the fear bestowed upon the wax
Imagine the illumination of the room if the candle knew it could move
Yet the wax remains stagnant
Afraid the flame will blow
Afraid moving light to another corner will darken another
Pure light does not move, it spreads
Fire burns no matter how small its host but the true beauty is the overflow
When it can no longer be tamed
Transforming every host it latches onto
Burning brighter, burning higher, burning longer
Diminishing the wax as it grows until there is no longer a candle
Now it’s just a room on fire
