Candles

Light a candle, the past has passed, Say your prayers, a life is gone, A moment of silence, free at last, The wick burns out, into a new dawn. What was once is no more, Was to be, a memory, Could have been, broken on the floor, A decade that felt like a century. The darkness breaks, filled with light, The monster, heavy, and gripping, Releases, doesnt put up a fight, As the sun shines on a new beginning, The light of life burns anew, Fire re-lit, Phoenix wings embrace, Stand tall and proud, take in the view, You are blessed, go forward with grace. Light a candle, the past has passed, Say your prayers, a life is gone, A moment of silence, free at last, The wick burns out, into a new dawn.
