The flickering flames
The wavering winds
Monsoons of sadness
Engulf without whim
Challenging the flames of happiness
Joy, burning bright as ever
Sadness, the one to pull the lever.
Casting remnants of flame in the rain
Glued to life, an infinite frame
Sadness stuck in time
For it, is joy’s only fine.
In the distance came another flame.
A glimmer of hope with an eternal claim.
That no candle may burn alone
One light is another’s home
No light on its own
