The Flame

The Flame

A flickering candle
sets a blaze
to a hidden place.

The silence
attempts to
draw the light

while an unexpected
rush of air
moves the wick
ever so slightly.

Now the flame
is a whirl…

An attempt to breathe—
a desire to sit and be.

A moment of STILLNESS…
again, a wisp of air
‘swirling’ the secret place within.

Finding rest…
it is ALL prayer—

THIS is the grace of BEING

AND

a pool of wax
drips down.
