O, Candle! Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran
O, Candle!
O, Candle,
on lighted up, you burn out
in your heart, you melt
in goodness, give out life
to those in need, you bring light
until your willing wick
holds out inside alive
The good teacher, you, preach out
the silent message of life
Day in, day out, you alike,
we, too, burn away in life
warmth to give to kith and kin,
we emit heat and light
till the end of the wick inside,
spread the brightness to their strides,
offer help to get lighted up,
renew our burnt-up life

This is a wonderful piece. It's sort of like a human being. We kind of consume ourselves during our lifetime giving away bits of ourselves a little at a time. I like this very much.
A stunning poem on symbols of Sacrifice and Rememberance - of giving.
A great poem reveling the truth! parents sacrifice many things in life almost like a burning candle which doesn't want anything in return! It's truly a master piece!
your personification of life with a candle burning for the comfort of others is just commendable..
