The candle weeps away its life giving light
I am praying to be as the candle
My days, like the wax spent serving Thee
Eagerly burning away my veils in time

I like this, the symbolism of the candle burning. I always burn candles and will probably look at them differently from now on.

This poem of yours is actually pretty profound. The message could be read several ways. Candles,light, bright,snuffed out. Very good analogies. You’re a gem.Carol. and I truly mean that.

It spoke to Me. Your writings are on my wavelength. Not everyone who writes,manages to speak to Me like that. I love poetry that’s sincere,truthful and descriptive. I suppose that’s the same kind of people I like

How very lovely! Wonderful flow! (I do wonder if you meant to use “its” (possessive) rather than “it’s” (it is). I also quite appreciate the message of you poem. Thank you!

I think it’s a great simile, actually. It pulls both halves of the poem together, too. Nicely done!
