Light a candle,
watch as it burns,
flame clears scandals,
as peace returns.
Bright shadows dance,
deep darkness sways,
as joys advance,
sorrows decay.
Intentions blow,
wishes to life,
a serene glow,
replaces strife.
Smoke absorbs cares,
trickles delight,
makes hearts aware,
provides insight.
Herb scented breeze,
perfumes the air,
relax in ease,
feel inner flare.
A sacred time,
made perfectly,
blissfulness chimes,
Infinitely.
– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy
