Wick story

I am just a wick brought onto Earth

From cotton seed to cloth.....

My journey is tedious

The farmer initiated this process...

I relished the moment I was sowed into mother Earth,

Unlimited nourishment I got, right from my birth.

Which helped me bloom into moonlight flowers....

I was lighter than air, and purer than the water,

I forgot the clay with which I used to play on a lighter note,

as I was brighter than sunlight, I forgot my route.....

Pride got much of me, causing me to lose myself!!!!

To the selfish humans, who plucked me and placed me on a shelf....

From where I caught the sight of God and offered my apologies…...

He paved a way, I had a makeover into a wick and became wise!

I let my ego off and got drenched into the sea of oil....

Prayers to the fire who helped me come out of the turmoil...!!!

There I burnt myself till the ashes to the God of my creation..

Thanking him for everything, which lead to my transformation!!!!!

Thank you for your patient reading

As I burn myself, isn't this a happy ending.....
