Burning candle melting down drop by drop , drip drop drip,As life of a man passes in a blink ...I observe the pattern of the melting waxÂ
on a half-burnt candle.
 Appeals to me more than anyÂ
new fancy wax patterns.
I find it more attractive instead of all imperfections.Those dazzling dripping drops are calling my attention.
Those melting drops of wax areLike an old thick trunk of an oak..
Like torn pages of an old book
Like glossy water in a brook..
Half-bunt candle is a middle-aged manÂ
imperfect body & irregular shape .
growing wrinkles & sagging face...
Still burning & illuminatingÂ
irrespective to the ruining bodyÂ
unaffected with the melting wax
careless about the passing age
There is a flame which emitsÂ
the light & illuminate till the end.
