candle flames

We’re all dying.

Most of the time,
our brains make us
forget that fact.
But sometimes,
we’re reminded of this fact
in the strangest ways.

It’s like someone throwing cold water over us while we’re fast asleep in the sun- and waking up to our own mortality staring right at us.
We are so small and breakable.
We’re like candle flames...

One small breath,
and we become
the darkness.
