THE FLAME

The candle flame was  burning high and bright,

It formed a beautiful elliptical shape ,

With the pointed tip leaning towards right ,

It's divine radiance ,compelled us to gape .

It ushered in  happy lighted days ,

Darkness was  forgotten and left behind ,

Our mind was chanting  Almighty's  praise ,

It was showing the righteous path to mankind .

Changing times are the rule of life ,

The candle flame was  now loosing light ,

With faith  and trust  it continued  to strive ,

It never  lost courage and was ready to fight .

The blowing wind with all its might,

Was trying hard to bring in dark days,

The candle flame was in a difficult plight .

It strengthened itself in all possible ways .

Suddenly the flame fluttered and became low ,

Despite the flutter it never lost hope ,

Lo and behold ,the  flame began to gain its glow ,

The flame  now grew big  and big like a celestial globe .

Enlightened days were here once again ,

Faith ,trust ,and hope brought them back to life,

Gone were the days filled with sorrow and pain,

Happiness and peace  were now ready to arrive .
