There is a candle at the edge of the world <br />that burns for all humanity. <br />In the daytime, it burns blue <br />to colour our skies when we wake. <br />At night, it is covered with a shade <br />and that is when darkness calls. <br />This candle at the edge of the world <br />is a constant reminder to us all <br />that if we venture too far too fast <br />we will eventually fall. <br />The candle burns within us <br />to show us the way each day <br />and if it ever fails <br />that is when our darkness calls. <br />It burns through our torment and strife, <br />our loves, happiness and failures too. <br />That candle at the edge of the world <br />is simply me and you.<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/candle-at-the-edge-of-the-world/
