The Flame

A poem written while watching the flame on my candle flicker and almost go out. Used as a reference to finding my own inner strength constantly in life as I am challenged by new and existing situations. Written while sitting in a room lit only by my candle. I find peace and serenity in lighting candles and find them to be very symbolic in life.

The Flame belongs to the following groups:

! Creative Writing & Poetry !, "Poetry and Beautiful Women" , All Things Poetic, Artistic, Philosophical and The Red Writing Room

The flame flickers,
In a gentle breeze.

A warning,
That it may go out at any time!
But as the breeze passes,

It stands tall and strong,
Once again.
It burns brighter than before.
