the candle

the spark comes out
the candle ignites
starting the fire and providing light 
darkness spark fire light

the dark room lights up
the kids can see
they run around and play in the light
spark fire light wax

the wax runs down the sides
the fire going down
making the room just a little darker
fire light wax darkness 

the candle runs out
smoke rises from the dead flame
darkens refilling the room
darkness spark fire light wax darkness
