it was never about the candles,
but about the ones burning them.
the ashes were returned but the work
that was put into them vanished,
just the way the people burning them did.

The way I took this was a cremation a funeral and the work going into the body burned vanished in smoke as did the work from the candles and the people at the funeral after the ceremony vanished as well. All goes away in the end. A most lovely write and a fave
Thank you, the metaphors were mine, but the way you understood them was all you.
