Candle
Flick,
flick of lighters
and matches lighting
one by one releasing
scents of joy into
the rooms.
Every little ball of
light dances as each
and every gust of
wind sneaks past
through every object
it touches.
The gust of
cinnamon follows
closely behind every
gust of air flowing
past it.
Hot liquid
flowing and
swiveling back and
forth until it hits
the bottom.
Slowly by the
hour the hard
scented object
begins to shrink
after every drop of
liquid one by one
flows slowly to the
bottom.
Finally there must
come an end to
everything.
As the
final drops of
liquid makes its way
to the bottom.
The glowing ball
of fire dims and the
last few whiffs of
cinnamon sneak past
my nose and into mid
air until next time
I must say good bye
to the joyful
scents.
