Cosmic Candle Poem by Kesav Venkat Easwaran

Cosmic Candle

Rating: 5.0

The cosmic candle burns constantly
one day to stop
but not in the near future
so do not bother
keep yourself cool, relax

Who adds the bundle of
helium wood pieces to the hearth?
one after another?

Not me, not you
that is true
nobody knows who
nobody would know, not ever
so do not bother
keep yourself cool, relax

Open your moon fridge
it is there, in the mind
take out your favorite drink
cool yourself
have a good sleep
wake up to witness
the ever-burning fireplace once again

I liked the way you brought these issues to the light of the day, we all watch it silently and do nothing to find solutions to these vital issues. Too Good ******
