LIGHT A LIFE




A candle once lit
Will burn out one day
Leaving behind ash
Dry, smutty and grey.

The light, the glory bested
Darkness- forever to reign.
To what purpose the burning?
A life subsisted in vain?

The tallow may be gone
The wick is still in the fray
A chandler’s labour of love
For eternity can stay

Light another lamp
Afore the looming last breath
An ace up your sleeve
Check and mate to death…

A candle once lit
Will burn out one day
Leaving behind ash
Dry, smutty and grey…………..
