My Candle



The glass plate with curved edges surrounds the red glowing candle like a castle moat waiting to capture any prey that ventures toward it.  The small, odd shaped, some would call lopsided candle is positioned in the center of  the plate burning quietly as though it is a treasure that needs to be protected.  The wick slightly curved to one side gives the flame a tilt to the right edge where it is slowly melting the side and dripping wet, hot wax down toward the gallant moat.  The flame appears to be blue at the base and gradually changes to a translucent grey before shooting out a glowing somewhat illuminating yellow flame.  The obscure privacy glass window behind it reflects the candle in a mosaic pattern and gives the window flame reflection a distinct yellow and fiery red glow as though it says I want to be different.

This was written for another writing class assignment on observing something and writing about it.

What About You?

What About You? You may have free will,  that is true. Picking your path  without a clue.  You look to your own device knowing  you will only gain the world.  I can't emphasize enough that  in the end it will fade like a mural.  Your eyes are closed as  the world draws you in.  I can pray for you, but without God  my words just melt in the wind.  You sow what you reap.  We all do, be it for good or evil.  The difference you may ask  is not what equals.  The difference is God,  the rapture is true,  we shall ascend, but  what about you?  There is a slim chance  on a tribulation date,  you will have to sacrifice your body  on God's holy slate.  You can ask him to save your soul  in a world filled with fool's gold. Your reward will be to enter the gates  made of pearls but void of hate!  Eternity is my goal.  I want to take you as I go.  Don't hesitate...
