The Lone Candle

A lone Candle

Burns brightly,

bravely on its own

reflecting on your picture

as if to shine out

who you were

to the world

Alone on the shelf

it burns with the hope

of more tommorows

to come,

intertwined with

the sweet smoke

of incense

sent upward to you

with love, Kurt.

The flame

I watch it, delicate and rare

a flame that could burn

a building down

is tamed and respectful here.

Here in the sacred space

created with love

for you my beloved son.

The lone candle

lit with intent

lit with dear sweet memories

imbued in my soul

lit with no other purpose

except to experience

you, Kurt,

to draw you closer

so we are united

for all time

The flickering flame

tells of many legends.

Of the brave

of the poor

of the pain

humanity suffers

of the joy

it bravely

burns, on and on

as does our

humanity

seeking the Light

always moving

never still....

The candle alone

yet safe in its home

shares the hope

for the future

the sweetest future

of not standing

still

Oh shine brightly

little candle of hope

shine brightly.

So we may all

find hope in another day.
