The candle seemed to call my name
I watched its brightly flickering flame
The light from it shone bright in the dark
I was hypnotised by its golden glow
The wax melted slowly so slowly
Like creamy liquid tears running down the sides
Drip
Drip
Drip
A silent puddle formed
Slowly oh so gradually over...

N ever again will the Tribes of Israel be the sacrificial lamb of man.
A nnealed in furnaces not in Olam HaEmet by the Almighty "the World of Truth."
Z ealots rose from the ashes of the ovens and now defend like Sicarii of old.
I srael blooms...

The flame dances on a breeze;
Candlelight dances on the walls.
Amazing shadows will be seen;
Wherever those flames may fall.

Such magical creatures are candle flames;
Mesmerizing beings.
Up there on my Mantle,
The dancers play out scenes.

They dance to their own stories;
Amazing mysteries.
No choreographers paint such glories;
The flames, quite creative,...

The sun sets..
Darkness surrounds..
There is a candle burning..
Candle light ..
A flickering flame..
A tender flame that glows so lovely..

Peace and quiet..
Silent and still
Only the sound of a slight crackle..
By a warm glowing candle..

In my moment of silence..
In my moment of serenity
I softly whisper a prayer of...

Don't be ashamed of yesterday..
We took chances in times of disarray..

Built bridges that we can't cross alone..
Through narrow paths to lead us home..

Forks in the road that divided hearts true..
We went our ways and watched each other choose..

Tread lightly if your path is in the...

THE CANDLE

candles gulp and flicker
in a new altitude 
old caves of crazy
waxed out warning
stars 
plummeting to their
dark new address
less stressed
than before

in absence I revolve
shrouded in my resolve
of deceitful sheets
a constellation
shattered rainbows
and chandelier
antiques

out like a candle
in a gust of wind

there then not
gone
taken from me

replaced by a gaping silence
a faded memory
a heartache
throbbing
refusing to heal

i try to remember
the tone of your voice
of your laughter

barely audible
it’s there in the distance
out of reach
a million light years away

and i trapped on my...

A huge shout out to my dear friend, Eileen, for creating a wonderful memory with this collaboration. There is a vital lesson when moments like this are created: The cure to uncertainty is togetherness. May we all make more memories like this. Friendships, real ones,...

CANDLE is the least, we can  do,

I light my candle from within the more I give to you,

An inner strength builds inside, it fills my empty soul,

The encompassing love present when my life was askew,

Needing a reason to get up every morning was my goal,

Volunteering at hospice gave me more, filling...

It broke her heart
when Franco died
he’d been her soul mate
wed over fifty years
he’d been her life

For her Franco
she had a ritual
lit a candle every night
so he would know
how much she missed him

Today would be a special day
she felt it when she closed her eyes
wouldn’t be...
