Candle Light

Burning the candle at three ends.

How many times can you light a candle?

Once it sheds light content in its flickering

Drawing moths and friends from the dark

Conserving, wavering in the breeze

Twice burning half again as fast

Warming the hand from both ends

Driving back the shadows of ineptitude and doubt

Three points of light, a torch

Burning through the blackness, scorching its holder

More difficult and ever harder to hold

Don't let go. You are a becon.

[Manish Goyal]

By far, this is one of the best poems i've read... you make me nimble and subtle in my stature...
