A Just-Finishing Candle

A candle is made to become entirely flame.
In that annihilating moment
it has no shadow.

It is nothing but a tongue of light
describing a refuge.

Look at this
just-finishing candle stub
as someone who is finally safe
from virtue and vice,

the pride and shame
we claim from those.
Mevlana Jelaluddin Rumi
The Essential Rumi, Coleman Barks
