Candle calm

Be calm
Be still
Do not fluster or suddenly move
Slowly perform the candle grip groove
For the candle flame flickers a delicate dance
I cannot afford to take a chance
A draft, a gust, an uninvited ****** will end the candles gentle trust
A Shimmer of colour as the flames bend
I fear the candle flame is close to the end
The dance plays on defying the breeze
What ever I do I must never sneeze
I Steady my hands diverting the air
Excited to prolong the candles glare
No second chances with this fair flame
Iā€™m playing the dangerous tip toe game
My light footed journey is near to the end
Iā€™m greatfull for my flickering friend
Stay lit
Stay bright
For I fear the night
Without you I have no sight
I must remember the candle calm rules
so the flame burns on and never stools
Be calm
Be calm
Be very candle calm
