The cold heat, and clear purification of my pink and white candle fills my room with the essence of roses. I inhale it deeply and take a step forward.I was now in the middle of my room, centering myself to peace. With one swift motion I took the rose that I had delicately placed near the candle.I sat down besides the burning candle and with the rose I gently burned the petals away.

I was inspired to write this one day when i had found a small candle. And upon lighting it, it made the room ever so calm and peaceful. Filling my compact room with the essence of roses after a rain shower.
