Only time you can see
your true light is, in darkness.
Let Go of What You Are,
to be Enlightened of
Who You Can Be.
Peeling away the mask
to feel, what really Sets My Soul On Fire.
Be The Light In Your Own Darkness.
I will no longer wear the mask
that hides the internal flame of my soul.
I am a fading candlelight,
Alone and out of sight.
I am my sentry in the night,
Withholding to burn too bright.
Through the surrender of
one’s egotist self, the mask falls away,
revealing the inner flame of enlightenment
that has been in place all along!
With the flickering flames
of experiences, casting shadows
on the sorrows and injuries.
I am burning within
like a candle spreading the light
of happiness around.
Am a candle in your life….
Burning myself to guide you
through your sorrows and darkness,
towards the path
of solace and happiness.
Like a candle you are, they say.
Only do some realize that I melt,
I burn to give light and
in the process,’I’ perish!
Alas! My time is running out,
What could I have done better?
In the final moments of my life,
my internal desire to live
is shining brighter!
With the flames raging in my mind
I invade into my inner darkness
To dispel away all the gloom inside
I kindle a flick of hope
with my ‘thoughtful’ self.
Seeing my sacrifice might
be a heart-wrenching sight.
But in the darkest of nights,
I shall be the light.
I may not be a sun or a moon.
But I will make sure
that you find your path soon.
Don’t worry
if you see me melt away.
Your destiny
is what matters now anyway.
Like a candle dies
as it burns.
We too get old
and die as our life runs.
So try to illuminate the darkness
and show light.
Life is all about
living right…
In a world filled with suns galore
providing light just so they want to glow
You are the candle that pays heed
when there is a call for support in need
You burn yourself to show light
Without you, those in need
can’t get through the night.
Every once in a while
you need to ignite
the light within!
To keep the fire burning.
The passion churning.
Motivation at its highest,
To go farther than the farthest!
