That Flickering Candle

The flame is about to extinguish Just using up the last drops of wax I wonder what this flickering candle is thinking What thoughts are roaming around it, Circling it like a moth…… Is it happy that it has lived its life Illuminating life of others…. Or is it sad, that its illuminating life is about to end….. Lived its life to the full To that last drop of wax…. Fought darkness with all its valor Tried to enlighten all the dark corners Glowing and beaming with enthusiasm….. Even though its aware of its end Its happiness so evident…. I wish I could live it like a candle That beautiful, flickering candle
