One small flame That is uniquely yours It eats away at its wick Like time eats away at our Bodies. It brings us comfort this little flame, it shows us our surroundings in the dark. Though it is small it brings about warmth. Put to other things it can spread and the flame can create a huge roaring fire. If I force this flame upon you it is intrusive, perhaps blinding and burns , the smoke obscures. If you need to find a source of light you may look upon my candles flame and find commonality there for you too have such a candle. Funny, when many candles come together: they look like the stars in the universe. I hope this message finds you well, and when we part I hope you are better for our meeting. ⁰
