Life is like a candle burning
slowly, magical journey lightens
our soul, showering wisdom
refreshing dusty trails of
yesterday~~

Through storms, flames burn
high, erasing memories, leaving
desires along our journey home
brightly taking us far away~~

Candle light gentle in visions
filling promise, we shed tears
along the road of silent dreams
and secret thoughts~~

The candle will soon burn out
when the winter comes, when
the days are long, and youth
has gone into the misty light~~

The candle of life is filled
with dreams, wishes, promises
not all coming true in life's bittersweet
bliss, with roses sometimes showing
thorns of surrender awareness~~
