Light a Candle

"Short is life; man is but a living dust, yet many great things come to pass."
Dr Abe V Rotor
Starry Night painting by Vincent Van Gogh

In the dark look at the sky and the stars
     They’re living gems, a thousand eyes;
They soothe the soul, heal wounds into scars –
     They come to mingle with fireflies.

Short is life; man is but a living dust,
     Yet many great things come to pass.
Someday you shall learn from the sages,
     Those who live through the ages.

Not for glory, they fill the emptiness;
     Go light a candle in gladness.
Fireflies and stars in the night are one,
     Like flowers that bear the sun.~
