We are the flame that consumes the wick, we are the wick that burns down the column of wax, we are the encasement of wax that melts from around the wick… all these we are, thus giving the “candle of being” it’s cadence, it’s heat, and it’s brilliance, from struck match to flame out to last drift of smoke… beyond that, is more than what we are

We Are
We are the flame that consumes the wick, we are the wick that burns down the column of wax, we are the encasement of wax that melts from around the wick… all these we are, thus giving the “candle of being” it’s cadence, it’s heat, and it’s brilliance, from struck match to flame out to last drift of smoke… beyond that, is more than what we are
