The Candle

Burning light of a candle ....................Small flame in the distance Beckoning forward lost souls ....................Offering a new life But the candle is naught but a lie ....................A mirage in the night For this forsaken candle ....................Lies in the hands of death Those who are drawn to the flickering light ....................Are never again to be seen Whisked away are they ....................To the land of the dead Where they dance around the flames ....................That burned their lives away
