The flame stretches, arm out to the world
Open, exposed
Shivering in the cold air of a quiet room
A sweet spot exposed, where the flame meets the wick
encompassed by a shimmering puddle of hot turquoise wax
The whiteness of the newly exposed wick, and see the charred blackness within the flame
Darkness needed to fuel the light
The fire reaches down, turns light to dark, and becomes brighter
Blues, oranges and yellows rise to the silent occasion, becoming more brilliant as the moments pass
Flickering in the open air
Brilliance lighting the hidden corners, with hints of charred blackness
