I'm your glimpse of harmonic hope
in the rhythmic night,
where darkness and sleep elope.
Use me, your staccato beat of flickering light.
Listen.

Life isn&#039;t measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments which take your breath away.<br /> <br /> You are only as strong as your weakest link.

Very mysterious and dramatic, but I agree, it did end quite suddenly. I love the imagery in the fourth line of the flickering candle.

i really like it, but you need to have more. like, you slowly drew me in and then *poof* it was done. really, it is a great start, and plenty of poets struggle between writing too much or too little. but you definally have something here. i never would have though of a candle being musical! again, great job! brava!
