All is dark.
Two candles meet,
join,
shed light upon the dark.
One candle sputters,
dies.
The other slowly
burns
itself
out.
All is dark.

Sounds like an analogy to life and love. Interesting how, when written dispassionately, the words assume such power. Good read.
Thank you Buzz Bray!
good write, cw. indeed, the prose is interesting, a metaphor for something i am still trying to understand.
Thank you, sophin!
I've always wondered about the dash in between. I'd like it to be my legacy. I enjoyed your poem's succinct message. Well said my friend.
