I am a candle


You rub my match

You light my candle

My candle burns steady

Glow bright, radiate warmth

 

Cold wind blows

My candle blows up

No light, no heat

Rub my match again

 

You blow warm wind

My candle flickers

Light fades

Rub my match again

 

My candle releases soot

Wax won't burn

Black smoke ascends

Blow your magic wind

 

My candle is wide

My candle is high

Will burn long

If not disturbed
