Each Time Poem by Govind Ramakrishnan

Each Time



Lighting up
Lives and Rooms
We burn slowly
Melting wax away

Each time
Creating
That
Perfect ambience

Just simple wicks
Lodged
In temporary housing
Noticed by none,

Always
On standby
To burn at your whim,
Ready to embrace
A quick death

We are indeed simple wicks lodged in temporary housing.... unfortunately most of us pretend to not know this truth..
