LXXXVIII - The Flame

.

The Flame

Where does a flame go when it's gone?
Does it go to Hell, to continue on?

Where does a flame go when it's away?
Does it's heat live on in some other way?

Where does a flame go when out of sight?
Does another dimension hold its light?

Where does a flame go when it dies?
"Snuffed if I know", a voice replies.

  5. Well, we all know about temperature inversions... and anti-matter. There are probably energy inversions, also. Think of worm holes. Every time you blow out a candle, you're creating a snowflake in another dimension. Actually, my orthodox Jewish friends don't use candles unless they let them burn out. Something to do with snuffing out souls... :\
