candle

candle

one small candle

it's the only thing

keeping me company

at this moonless night

i kept starring at the flickering flame

until it slowly faded away

with last narrowing

fading whip of a smoke

candle burned out

long before it’s service

was truly fulfilled

it's purpose

long before the true meaning

was revealed

now i'm left in the dark

alone

with my lonesome thoughts

can't shake

the past away

for this lonely present

i can't see the future due

that's all around me

the one that surrounds me

night and through day

until the time

the year and day

from which I start to fade away

white bright grows to grey

gravel and dirt

black and darkness

twirl and curl

back to loins

back to twisting roots
