अन ओदे तो तह कान्द्लेमाकेर

An Ode to the Candlemaker

Tears wax dripping to the spiritual flame,
Burning, burning, away our shame.
At end of Age we carry along,
A history of hate and Wisdom's song
Some things right, so many wrong.

But the dream of Innocence is born again,
It grows in hearts prepared by pain.
We light new candles from the old
We gather back into the fold.

For within our wicked world is a wick,
~Always Dancing~
To the flame of Eternal Love.

Most wonderful. Thank you for the energy you express through this poetry. We are all in this wonderful burning together. Brighter it gets every day.

In love and peace

It is as you say here for me, too. We share the metaphor of the wick, the heart of the Phoenix.
