Flame

It is in times like these
That I light a candle.
To calm my nerves,
Relax and think.

For some reason
A single flame
Can chase my blues away.

I find it odd...

How the strains of life
Can twist my brain
And all I have to do
Is light a candle
And it's gone.

What a magnificent object.
Wish you knew my appreciation.
You burn my negative thoughts
And bring me pleasant ones.
You hypnotize and intrigue my mind.

For some reason
a single flame
Can chase my blues away.
