The best candles are those that burn at both ends:
Same wax, two wicks, two flames, two friends,
Each burning its way to meet in the middle;
And shedding more light than a one-sided candle.
And if ever a storm should blow out a side,
The other, still warm, could help reignite it.
Yet, a flame abandoned keeps the heart yearning -
It takes two to keep the hearth burning.
