Re-shaped Candles

Candle burning
flickering light disappears
leaving melted dreams
a small wick
still remains to be lit
hopes burning
small as it may be
still lights within the heart
that was once a candle light

melted wax
remains different in shape
seen in a different light
wanting a new wick
burning bright once again
bringing melted dreams
once again to be seen.

Bernie, we have to keep our inner light burning,
with possibilities. If not with a lost love,
with a future one.

Hugs

Excellent title, and well expressed in the content. Bernie, the style of the write was very much in tune with the changing shapes of the melting emotions, reforming new and well worn. As a candle maker by heart, I have found the most beautiful creations in the wax made over again. Smiles, TD

Like this! To consider the remaining of a wick from which life's beauty might be lit is a wonderful encouragement for times when the flicker has seemed to be swallowed in dark.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
