A Candle (In a Dead Man's Hand)

She's a candle

In a dead man's hand

She has motives

You'd not understand

Just know you'll never

Be part of her plans

For her light is not

Yours to command

She's a candle

In a dead man's hand

And she makes no stands

I believe something we will never truly know. Somethings is for us to accept as-is. I liked how you used the candle and the dead man. Maybe one day. All of us will become the walking dead? Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry. Made me think this morning.

Thanks. I was kind of wandering (mentally) during insomnia and this came about. ~Jim

You did well. I liked the song. "Dead man arms." By Bishop Briggs. Good to wander with our words and thoughts.

Tremendous symbolism and imagery.
