The Solitude of the Candle

Listen to poem:
The Solitude of the Candle David J Walker The sweet smell of spiced paraffin and flame the solitude of darkness I am the name I am the sound of the moniker and bound To hold the meaninglessness of a darkness in a Darkened frame In a dark space In a dark place Just beyond The Candles claim And will be remembered So long lives The candle's flame

Thank you so much, Connie. I love the singularity of one flame..and its meaning. I'm in the USA, Texas to a little more precise. Where are you?
