Candlelight

The flickering flame invites us to wander.
A journey of cerebral discovery and personal awakening.
The candlelight holds many mysteries and truths.
Throughout the ages man has danced with this wonderous illumation for survival
It is celebration, mourning, and ritual.
It is holy and hellfire.
It destroys the flesh yet seals the wounds.
It is sacred and profane.
It is seductive and alluring.
It draws us closer
It is communal yet solitary
It brings life. It brings death
It is celebration and anguish
It is jubilation and damnation
It casts the brightest light and darkest shadow
