Lessons Learnt In Life 5

as the flame burns the pure white wick turning ashen black melting wax around the candle into hot liquid flowing downward slowly turning to a cold hard callous built into a pool trust has melted away and disheartened a key that was entrusted, but has melted and with a sigh breathe extinguishing the flame living behind a wisp of smoke and an ashen wick turned cold, hard, and calloused constant reminder scars left behind of lessons learned trust 10/17/2015 Contest Name: Lessons learnt in life 1 double etheree contest # 5 Sponsored By: Silent One

It is a hard lesson learned and the scars last forever. This was very well done and I am glad to see it on the winners list. ;)

The form, etheree, is such an elegant way to describe (as you have done), the importance of trust as an root- element of learning. Beautifully written, Eve. And while I'm here, my deep thanks for my placement in your moon contest. Loved reading all of them, each were so worthy! Thank you for the opportunity!!
