Light on the path to the end*

Light on the path to the end*


Life one day started out like a candle stick
Inside was its path, it was the wick
Once it was on its way to be lit
This light took direction and that was it
Melting, it went through the moments in time
Each part of this, oxygen it did find


Lower and lower, the wick burned through
A steady flame that knew what to do
No longer was it to be upright and firm
It just kept moving onward, the wick it did burn
Dissolving with itself, a waxy build up in the blend
It was a step at a time, nearing the end


One thing that was noticed, expiration so near
It was the past of this candle, that slowly disappeared
Once things are in motion, there is only one thing to do
It is surviving the next moment, that it has to go through
The waxy build up, can never go back again
But it was great use on its path, right to the end
