Question:Block of Earth, Scented so sweet
Laid on the hearth and mantle
The spark of Fire is placed on the wick
Brings life to this dark candle
Smoke ascends, breathed through Air
And flame sinks ever low
From the Earth, the Fire births
A melting water flow

Spirits warmth
A humble home
The smell of cherry fields
And a box of matches

This is a beautiful picture of life at home, yet how the elements, power than almost any force of earth, make their way inside, dwell, act, become. It is oneness with the world, and oneness with your ownself and spirit. This is your transcendence, your becoming. Becoming holy human and no longer staring at the edge but making that final LEAP

into the whatever may come.

No affence or anything but I don't Understand it at all. Good use of words though I think that your a great poet and are good at expresing your thoughts so keep going! :D

I enjoyed the way you look at something as simple as a candle and broke it down into an elemental commentary... I would kiss you were you standing here!
