Candlelight Ethics Poem by Patrick Czyz
Candlelight Ethics
You are surrounded by darkness.
And encompassed by loneliness.
Your weary wax is well-nigh spent.
You are hopeless and tormented.
The light flickered.
'I burn.' said the orange tongue.
'I go.' echoed the smoke.
Then the smoke softly wafts into the void.
But not before the candle gave it its all.

Ah! Nicely done. As one who lights candles nightly, I can honestly say that now when I stare into that flame I shall always remember this poem!
