A Candle Burns Poem by Liilia Talts Morrison

A Candle Burns

Rating: 4.8


A candle burns and melts away
its stately form transforming
but to a fleeting memory
of warmth and welcome glowing

All earthly forms one day descend
into the soil below
to follow cycles set of old
as seasons come and go

Though candles and all forms of life
soon end or ebb away
new candles and new life ascend
to herald a new day.

Sounds like a New Year poem. I like the title A candle burns and the beginning line is catchy.
