Candlelight

A Poem

A single flame,
lights the way.
It helps to scare,
The darkness away.

Candles burn,
But only slow.
They guide a path,
Show where to go.

But soon enough,
The candle gutters.
Every flame,
Eventually falters.

And then we’re left,
In darkness still.

Unless we remember,
The candlelight glow…
