Once the warm glow warmed the hearts of two
A burning candle many colors by night and day
Some colors laughter, some colors tears
Some colors silence, some colors delightful noise
Some colors of joy and some a little sadness
Colors of trust and sharing
Fear and fearless daring
The glow weathered seasons
Still keeping warm… warm… warm…
With every melting drop the hearts of two melted
Then in one instant the flame met its threat
Hearts of two watched the fluttering fight
One quick hand sheltered its form
Burning but loving the love over the cost to keep it
Now many winds past
The candle lies on the little mountain of its warm past
Cold and broken from its root
Hearts of two stare at it helplessly
None willing to strike the reviving match
Both their winds rage their muted defiance
If you listen closely
You may hear love’s tears fall at the two hearts’ feet
As their banter drones on
On things quite less important
Than the broken candle between their hearts
Blindly they stare at its remains
Silence finally subdues the candle’s lagging warmth
Two hearts rise to walk away…
Broken!
