Flame of a candle

[font=&quot]Flame of a candle[/font]

[font=&quot]...so[/font][font=&quot] it all goes over and over again:[/font]
[font=&quot]Drinking the old wine,[/font]
[font=&quot]Chasing the shooting stars[/font]
[font=&quot]In it’s intoxication,[/font]
[font=&quot]No bad medicine to get well, [/font]
[font=&quot]Just the prayer’s left to live on...[/font]
[font=&quot]Well, there are always chances,[/font]
[font=&quot]Some just haven’t been given to you.[/font]

[font=&quot]It’s always the same:[/font]
[font=&quot]A traveller’s elegy,[/font]
[font=&quot]Full of heartache and [/font]
[font=&quot]Doubtful delight...[/font]
[font=&quot]The beauty of Helen -[/font]
[font=&quot]Great enough[/font]
[font=&quot]To raze a kingdom...[/font]
[font=&quot]Some pictures of the past[/font]
[font=&quot]Many hopes for the future -[/font]
[font=&quot]Fragile like the[/font]
[font=&quot]Flame of a candle...[/font]

[font=&quot]...like the flame of a candle...[/font]
[font=&quot]Oh, ironic inference.[/font]
