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…………..
