AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A CANDLE

I shine and shimmer like a star on a puce night

I gleam and glimmer like the pearly moon so bright

I stand elegantly in every festival and celebration

I dance and waltz to my heart's satisfaction

I beam at everyone who passes by me

I have no friend nor foe; in my own world I'm happy

I bring dawn to darkness and pulchritude everywhere

In every elated moment, my ecstasy I share

I represent knowledge, wit and wisdom

I bring warmth and hope to places lonesome

But when I melt, I dim and flicker

I'm no longer useful and replaced by another

(25th April'08)
