~~~
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.
