This episode talks about my poem, "A Flame that was Afraid to be". Personifying the dying flame of a candle, I've tried to create an alternate reality for the one which is known to us all as a symbol of light and hope. I've tried to re-visit it's martyrdom in the same light, as one would of a soldier. Seeing their pain and sufferings as an act of losing themselves to their purpose, I've talked about how the candle live a similar life.

This episode is about the time I zoned out while staring out of the window of a school bus, only to later hit upon a weird hypothesis of how human thoughts might work within different layers of our consciousness. Using visual imagery, nature inspired metaphors and parallelism, I have tried to put my thoughts down for you to recieve and comprehend. Hope you have fun listening!
