Beautiful pillar of beauty & strength,
Untouched, unscathed, unscarred

Secretly, slowly, it creped up, showed itself
Slowly starts to burn, intense heat, radiant light
Melting away, liquid energy, so soft, so very fragile
A breath of air, a flame no more, heat released
Slowly cools, strengthens, and takes new shape

Still very strong yet less strength then before
Still very beautiful but less of once was
now touched, now scathed, a pillar still
Accepting what is, remembering what was
Enjoys the calm knowing it will burn again

Beliefs will forever breath that breath of air we need
One-day the pain of life will just stop burning
One-day the joys of life will harden one last time
For the wick will end, the wax will melt, the candle is I.

A very clever write with some very vivid imagery.

Take care.....Sue
