Let it burn

Candles, turn them on 

The fire burns, it gives light 

It's hot, don't touch it 

It could destroy you 

Candles, when they burn 

They need something to burn on 

That something, doesn't last forever 

It soon ends 

Candles, look at them 

Those colors, 

Parts are black, others light 

Notice the range 

Candles, stare at it 

This dance 

Now still, then shaking, and again 

Ups and downs 

Candles, listen to it 

A sound 

Signals or noise 

Finding the difference there 

Let it burn, don't interfere, and keep looking 

Sometimes, it gives us light and warmth 

We get close to it, and could touch it 

But then we burn ourselves 

It hurts 

We thought we found that something 

Burning with passion about it 

And, it ends, it doesn't last forever 

A void 

Finally simplified, bright again 

Everything is beautiful now 

Oh, it's not just white, nor fully black 

Complexed range 

Shaky confusion 

We comfort ourselves, it's indeed a dance 

Yet, here we slip, there we fall 

Ongoing doubt 

Noise and distraction all around us 

Exploring the underlying signal 

Quite hard to differentiate 

Lacking clarity 

Let it burn, don't interfere, and keep looking
