An epiphany i had watching a lamp...
One night I lit a lamp and saw it grow
As the night grew dark , so did its glow
The flame flew and flickered as the wind blew
Dancing along , going with the flow
How long it would last I had no clue
Many hours went by before I knew
The secret of light and fire as we know
Needs burning out everything Oil, wick and air
Till all is one and there is none.
Soon the wick grew short and oil began to slow
That's when it amazed me even more
The flame puffed for air like its last breath was here
The light seemed to grow with every blow
Till it went out putting on its best show.
In life
to create anything of value, like the flame one needs to completely dissolve
and give oneself totally to create the
light and glow..
