"Single Candle Burning"

    

    A single candle burning shines enough
    To dim the darkness of the world we hold
    So precious called the i the self the ego
    State which craves in ******* ignorance a
    Pattern form or shape perceived existent
    In some pleasured realm of moments ******-
    Physical that once did gaily manifest
    Upon the stage of here and now but now
    Has past beyond this life to memories
    That change the conscious aggregate for ill
    Or good a function rightly virtuous
    But when we grasp and grasp and ask of such
    To yield a spectral nutriment we sow
    Wild seeds of discontent that drops the present
    Sphere of thought to Stygian depths and aspects
    Cruel which can be humbly lifted for
    A single candle burning shines enough
