Poem Artwork



My mind is tired of questioning
day by day about the candle I hold.
I see the wind blowing with no end.
I hear the thunder in my own heart.
Will this candle stay alive forever?

This is a candle with a different color.
It is a candle of a different world—
the one I am never engaged with.
The world gives me plain smiles.
Will I ever enter this world?

The candle still flares up. It does!
But is it really made for me forever?
Did my Master send it to me?
Did the world grant it to me?
I am now expecting certainty.

Oh Heaven, grant me answers!
I am in need of voice, not silence.
I know, You know all, You see all.
Nothing more I wish, only answers.
