The Candle Burns

 

The candle burns
Giving light
Giving warmth

By fulfilling its function
It destroys itself
By destroying itself
It serves others

The candle burns
Sacrificing itself
For us


This poem is from the book, ‘A Requiem For What Could Have Been: Poetry For The Broken’.

I Wonder

 

I wonder
If my role here
Is to sacrifice myself
For others

No one
Gets out alive
So why not give
What I have?

Perhaps
In doing so
I’d find
My purpose
