He often compared
Darkness to Flames
Dwelling in dark
he would complain
"Selfish, elfish..
too brightly it glows!
must be ignorant
to be standing so bold"
But all it said in reply
was an answer so lame..
"The Lesson i have, is too simple to explain"
Aghast in his fears
he marched in dark corridors
awaiting the rescue
from the flame he now adored
"Take me..
Light me! delight me!!
It exclaimed..
For now I tire.. of darkness and its games"
But all it said in reply
was the answer in vain
"The Lesson i have, is too simple to explain"
Lost in his battles
he now wondered aloud
"what keeps you glowing
how-come u never run out"
He noticed with calm
"For I glow within you.. not about"

Very, very profound Anki.. You are amazing in the way you weave such powerful thoughts and imageries in a few words... The lesson though may appear simple to explain but, i guess, is not so simple for the typical mind to conceptualize... The ending is so beautiful.. so complete...
