**THE CANDLE STAND
Tears of sorrow keep dripping down
on the candle stand of life,
As our body melts like wax at the feet of
the brass stand!
A new wick is required to be inserted
once more,
To make that burnt out candle to light-
up and glow!

'A new wick is required to be inserted once more, ...' Hmmmmm...I don't know. I'd replace it with a new candle, instead of a wick. New life. Life.death..rebirth..cycle...Good imagery though. Keep on Rajda. Cheers. Subroto
