Candle

when my ego has ballooned
like a red round birthday balloon
quietly, slowly, and steadily
I found a small candle burning brightly
glowing like a lone star in a dark night
shining on a lone path into solemn plight
Into darkness I set my foot
mustering courage as much as I could
starting this journey with humbleness
gravitating to destiny with piousness
