The candle

The candle has burnt, a wax shell

a lesson learned dead men don\'t tell

smoke, now clear air

illumination from despair

 

Flame in a hangman\'s dance

rolling wax tears, fall in balance

swirling time, charred, used

ethereal light from those abused

 

Prometheus unchained

desires unrestrained

spark of light flashes

the phoenix raises from ashes
