Required Contrast~

How noticeable is a lit candle during the day?  Imagine the sun in shining brightly through newly cleansed windows.  Such light illuminates said room and makes dim that which would otherwise shine brightly in the dark.  Can it then be said:

Tis best to burn during the night
Knowing you will see the light
That only shines oh so slight
When sky fires are burning bright

Camouflage allows for blending in and thus not being noticed.  Some species have evolved as such to either eat or not be eaten.  Camouflage can also be used by humans (in clothing form) to blend into their environment thus making them less noticeable to a possible predator/prey.

Some humans do not require a camouflage collection in order not to be seen as they blend into the population at large and prefer not to stand out and be counted.  I suppose that is a good thing.  Actually, it is a good thing.  How else might a candle burn bright during the day?

Some bright candles would know that the best place to hide is in plain sight in full light.  Imagine knocking the candle to the floor as you exit the room only to find your home on fire shortly afterwards?  The tiny unseen flame can develop into a raging fire whose billows of smoke can be seen for miles. ~ Maggie ~ May 4, 2010 @ 1:13 a.m. EST
