I lit a candle for Marianne

None can catch the wind,
but many try.
Some come close,
enough to feel the pull,
and ground themselves,
backing away to safety.

Others embrace it,
let it sweep them away,
in swirls and twists
the tamer ones never feel.

But, in time it catches all.

I read this about how a flames flicker difeerently on a memorial candle tribute. But not really sure. It’s a neat idea.

I read that the end levels all no matter if you are bold or careful. An invitation to live life.
