Candle

It is in to shape of,
the Buddha,
and burns very quickly,
a tall,
emmensly bright flame,
but the flame goes out,
when the candle burns down,
just as life.

Impermanant,
fleeting in this huge,
emmense, infinity of our universe,
and its time,
so;
you're born,
you live,
you die.
Beginning,
middle,
end,
just like a book,
or a canlde,
or a skit onstage,
but all ends,
no matter how hard we try to hold onto it.

Sometimes,
when things look bleak,
and you just can't seek,
for meaning of life,
you ask yourself, "What's the Point?"
As vast hopelessness decends upon you,
as a dark black hawk,
a bird of prey,
ready to kill,
"Life has no meaning! why live it?
Why?
Why?"

When you feel this birds claws upon your throat,
remember,
that the meaning is not at,
the end of the road,
nor the beggining,
it is in the middle the journey.

The only meaning that life can ever have,
is just to live it,
to make your candle an inferno,
hot,
glorious,
beautiful,
and all will not be in vain.

All begins,
all Is,
All ends.
