The Candle

James Alexander

the candle burns 

yellow and white

in the waning 

hours of night

 

much akin to

a man's plight

over the time

in his short life

 

the flickering flame

decends in height

burning thru years

remaining bright

 

but all too soon the wax 

melts to it's end

and all too soon man's life

comes to it's end
