Candle Flames Flickers

The candle light flickers for no reason even when shielded from stray puffs of wind. It is an internal thing, rhythm within its being, a vibrato in its song of pixels waved. A reminder that making light is tough squeezing vapor from melted wax, that is wicked up to furnace of burning flame at tip. Heating electrons in atoms makes them jump up to higher energy levels above before electrons drop back, releasing splutters of visible light energy. The process is flawed, with hesitant indecision. No matter; imperfection can be tolerated in a candle! There is something charming about flickering, anyway, When reading a book in soft, warm candle light, Something that electric lights can never emulate. Such modern lights only flicker when faulty.
