Like a candle

As I was praying today, deep thought and all. My eyes all of a sudden was fixated on the candle that was burning. At that moment, just realized how much the candle in my eyes and belief represented our life. To me like a candle, we were first molded by Him, we are all innocent and as white and fragile as can be. Once the candle is ready, it is then lit up and it almost as if like our life, once we are lit up by something, we have hope and dreams that we always think of. The smoke represented, the very essence of our being, we lose our childlikeness the way God intended us be.  Once the smoke goes up, its gone forever, just like when we hurt someone, once done, it can never be repaired, innocence lostCandle_voltive
.  As the fire and smoke keep melting away, so does our body, and mind, but the spirit remains the same. the more the wax melts, the more the candle strengthens and shortens, like life, each time we grow more, we are much more defined in our hearts, mind and body. Our hearts learns each time we get our heart broken, with our minds, we grow more wiser as we learn more about life, and our body becomes stronger as time would let us, yet like the candle, our life is limited. Fire burns away the candle, like the world around us, every minute, every moment we lose our life because its just the way we were meant to be; temporary. From start to finish, the fire burns away, until the last moment, last smoke that goes up and just exhales, like life the moment of our death can mark the end of the chapter in our lives, and now what does it all mean? Like a candle, our life was meant for something, now its up for each and every person what they think they are, if you ask me, my light is for God….
