The Flame
It had always fascinated me;
the feeble orange flame –
feeble, yet the capacity to illuminate the dark world
Always an avid watcher, I observe
As the little blue light changes hues,
Dances; as my eyes follow it
I feel it – something unusual,
Yet so usual – Ah! – Déjà vu!
I relive my childhood,
Remember those curios, gleaming faces,
The orange reflecting in their blacks
And as if almost an instinct, my hands come together,
The little dominant ones entangle
And the roof smiles; his admirer is back again
These mysterious things knot and tangle;
Causing some pattern there – mysterious still
A gust of wind blows, my eyes
Immediately check the flame –
It now has a storm to face
My hands instantaneously circle it –
A blinding white light, and it is gone
And with it is gone the warmth,
With it are gone those patterns,
With it are gone those little faces;
And their little silhouettes
And I am kept there – Staring at the ashes,
As my childhood slowly fades away
This is something I scribbled recently. We had a power cut, and when we lit the candle, all of these happened, and I decided to put it to words. Hope you get the message I’d conveyed.
Really hoping you like it.
