Candle Light

Thrice a fickle little flame nipped at my fingers

Thrice I stared into those flames, wishing to see the answers within the heat, within the crackle and pop of little fires

Each on their own islands. A dance for each, a shape and twist to all that are the same and yet completely different.

Like each of the lonely souls that pass me by as I write my piece. 

Candle light has a wild kind of beauty as in humans, domestic and yet capable of a lasting burn.

Even if one is a pyromaniac, a flame is a flame and skin is skin. No matter how much you might like the burning, it changes a person.

For even when someone gives a flame to much air, the dripping wax remains.
