Like a Burning Candle

The poem in a nutshell

An artist is like a burning candle. A candle has to burn itself down up to the last breath to produce light in the entire atmosphere. Likewise, an artist, a creator has to pour out his / her everything down into the creation to make it enjoyable to the world. Each and every person is a creative artist in some way or the other. Until and unless we burn ourselves down like a candle, we will have no value of our own. So, we have to produce up to the last lees of the glass of life. An artist has been given the responsibility to not only inform but also to transform people. So, he / she has to work up to the last breath in his / her life.

The poem-- "Like a  Burning Candle"

Like a burning candle,

Lighting up its surroundings

To the last flame of fire,

An artist needs to

Pour down everything

To the last lees

To enlighten the world,

To inform the people,

To try to transform them,

By knocking at the door

Again and again until

It gets opened, for

The repeated knock will

Wear away every darkness

To open the world up

To a lasting light,

To endless eternity.
