lighting the candles...

a candle to god

it is said that
the soul of man
is like a candle to god.

and so we light our inner flames,
letting them shine bright
with the light of god.

and the peace within
radiates,
shining with the light of
the source of all life.

the light of the candles
illuminates the home --
filling it with peace
within the family
and within the soul.

oh-so thankful, we invite.
we breathe in this light of peace--
drawing it deep down into our souls.

and as we exhale,
the light travels out.
it recognizes, harmonizes and unifies
with scattered sparks of holiness
all around the world.

and so in this sacred
moment,
our hearts are united,
glowing with the light of god.
