Guess Who I am
I live less,
But I can help a
poet complete a poem.
I live less,
But I can help a
lyricist complete lyrics.
I live less,
But I can help a
student complete an essay.
I live less,
But I can help a
couple enjoy a dinner on the rooftop.
I live less,
But I can help someone
cook in the kitchen.
I live less,
But I can help a
family unite in the drawing hall.
I live less,
But I can help
revolutionaries draft a plan for a protest.
I live less,
But I can remove
darkness for a while.
I live less,
But I can give
life to my friend to continue what I can do.
I melt.
I burn.
I can remove
darkness.
I am a candle —
a symbol of sacrifice.
My need is felt
when darkness prevails.
I am less in
demand due to modern electricity and power backup devices.
When the news of
a storm breaks, I am there on the list.
Though ancient,
I am still relevant.
M.L.
Narendra Kumar
