Like A Burning Candle Poem by Somali Mukherjee

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.
