Set Aflame 

It was lit as dawn turned to dusk 

As Summer turned to Autumn 

A candle’s light 

A candle’s comfort 

Click and pull, set the wax ablaze 

Melting into nothing 

The strong smell of a soft vanilla

Almost smoky as it burned through the space

A flickering flame 

Rising into nothing 

Burning through the chaos 

It burned as dawn turned to dusk

As Summer turned to Autumn 

Remains of ash 

Remains of comfort 

Drifted as the smoke rose
