Like Candles In The Wind

Candles in the wind

How many souls flicker and die
Like echoes of a silent cry
Their warmth all lost, their light unseen
Like candles in the wind?

How many hopes dwindle away
Like dreams forgotten the next day
As if they never had been dreamed
Like candles in the wind?

How many hearts crumble and fall
For no one’s there to hear their call
Beautiful words remained untold
Like shadows on a darkened wall?

They all go out, weakened and thinned
Like candles in the wind…
