An earthen lamp <br />All by itself <br />Burns alone <br />What's left to tell <br /> <br />Cotton wick <br />Is it's soul <br />Oil it's spirit <br />They burn in yore <br /> <br />Far away <br />from reality <br />That easily <br />Takes a pity<br /><br />Nalini Jyotsana Chaturvedi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-earthen-lamp/
