Candle Light
written by: Grace Y. Estevez
Light a candle,
then search the flame.
It takes a breath,
I do the same.
The fire dances
a rhythmic sway,
my body moves
in the same way.
The hot wax drips
along each side,
smile as tears drop,
from both my eyes.
Inhale all hope,
the light emits.
Energies guide
and soon transmit.
Clear and pure thoughts
are now evoked,
exhale all pain,
watch as it smokes.
