the sun disappears
        beneath traveling gray clouds
               a candle burns bright

I imagine stars are candle lights
dancing in the shadowy backdrop of night
whispering hope
to those that believe

that candle soon gets in her way
alight at both ends
already has cost her so many pyrophobic friends.

In the Middle

you lit the candle at both ends
and wait there in the middle
to see which wick burns sprier
while thick wax forms its puddle

Premium Member Burning

love is a burning in my heart
as the wick grabs the flame to keep the candle lit
i grab ahold of your love to keep my heart alive

Andrea Dietrich

Your poem, Andrea Dietrich, 
put flame to my candle stick's wick; 
and shed light 
on my plight 
that my Poetry Soup's too thick.

one candle can light another
without diminishing itself
the light of God thus lights all lights
including the light of our Self
