Cherita of Light for a Dark White Night

I burn candles

Radiant, knifelike flames of spirit and heart
Flickering, dancing, with the breath of hope

Transformation, translation, testified in hot wax
Intention illuminated incarnate
Light glowing from within: prayers made manifest

The radiant heat of these flames of the spirit consoles, palliates and appeases. It is after all, the breath of hope which enables us to face another day.

They say that candles attract the spirits so when I light them at night on our patio, I invite all, seen and unseen, to join me in the light.
