Mind’s a candle flame

Desireless, it is tame

With gusts of passion

Its vitality turns ashen

Before the light dims

There’s much it brings

Wisdom, and knowledge

Give the mind high wattage

A candle can light many

If the flame is steady

As the mind’s light spreads

It gives knowledge legs

Sheltering the mind’s flame

And sharing becomes the aim

The mind continues to remain bright

After the sun retires for the night
