One candle in the window
A single flame against the dark
I wrap focus in your glowing
A prayer in your slim, white spark
Such a tiny light in the chill hushed
night
Infused with such great power
As the wings of time enfold the earth I bless this, my waking hour
With the flame of one small candle
On the window seal curled
And the light of a prayer that does not dim
But echos around the world
