Candle Burning Bright

Please don't disturb me
I'm kind of busy at the moment
Trying to sort out the fragments of my existence

All is lost
There's no point in continuing
I'm on the brink of blowing out my own candle

Perhaps I can get some assistance
Candle burning bright
I pray for a gentle breeze

Flickering
Dancing
Casting shadows; temporary permanence

The shadows from my candlelight
Would they exist without my flame?
Or are they always there?

Do I extinguish my own shadow-builder?
Or do I ask for a wind?
Or simple let it burn to the end?

What will happen to the shadows?
Without me, they'd be lost,
Searching for a new light; a new existence.

Burn down on your own
Candle burning bright
The shadows would be lost without your flame.
