The Candle Flame

~~~

The candle flame flickers

And life falters

Until it steadies

And the balance alters.

~~~

They cannot exist jointly,

The flame and the breeze,

Live in harmony,

Or, indeed, be at ease.

~~~

One must give way to the other,

The sturdier leads the frailer,

A law of life since time arose,

The stronger rules the weaker.
