Symbolic Flame
Wax from the Unity Candle
dripped, and oozed, and pooled.
The Flame twisted, sputtered, flickered with
breath from a hundred sighs, it reflected the
wet choking gasps, it shimmered with tears.
He smiled.
She smiled.
Those that watched smiled foolishly.
And I, I watched the candle burn.
My tears began to drip, and ooze, and pool.
The Flame had twisted, sputtered and flickered out.
