One Candle Burns Poem by Kurt Philip Behm
One Candle Burns
Rating: ★5.0
By facing death,
we embrace life more
We see the limits,
each minute core
Seen as a friend,
all life betroths
Each moment treasured,
our loved ones close
And when we face
that final day
A voice more gentle,
bids us sway
Into the dark,
one candle burns
Death's welcome light
—for our return
