Candelabra

 Candelabra 


A noble sacrifice in a dim lit space 

The candelabra extends its arms with grace 

Droplets of wax burn its hands 

His selfless role no one understands 


Each waxen luminary's gentle dance

Ignites the stage, a luminous romance

The candelabra's arms, a cradle strong 

Supporting flames that sing their silent song.


With every flicker, life's essence shared,

A gift of light, a testament declared,

Its molten sacrifice, a symbol true,

A beacon bright, in darkness it imbues.

In whispered tales of sacrifice and gleam,

A guiding light, in life's grand scheme

The candelabra’s gift is eternal light 

For souls lost during the night
