Poetic Observations of a Candle


By Emily Meuer

"Whoosh!" whispers the match
Who taps the wick
Who bursts into brilliant flame.

It slowly creeps down
To the heart of wax
Whose tears drip down like rain.

Time and again 
We start the fire
Only to tire of the game,

While the lights digs down
'Till it hits ground
And never shall burn again.
