The Wax In a Candle
Take the wick of a candle, and give it a light.
You can see where you walk through the darkness of night.
Between myself and the candle, there is an analogy.
What I see here is a striking similarity.
Just like the wax, my life is melting away.
I can no longer live like I did in an earlier day.
My life is like the candle that is burning on.
It's only a matter of time before I am gone.
