These candles, our bodies, see how they burn
How many hours will they last – days, months, years?
Look at the warmth and comfort we can give to each other,
Or to anything that comes close
One of the components of lasting art is a spirit
flame within the created
that can ignite inspiration and hope, and survive time’s
ways

We are
Each of us
A work of art
emerging from that creative power
some call God
some call Sacred
some don’t call anything at all
but feel, deep down in their bones
soul deep
we are fearful and wonderful
products of Love
and we carry within us
the power
the genius
the love
of that Power from which we come
we are
each of us
a work of art
unique
a one of a kind
beautiful
no matter our shape
or color
size
or features
we come into being
from Love
through love
into love
and we are here
for hours, days, years
incarnational
revealing
beings in the image
reflections
of the Sacred
and our one job
is to burn brightly
to burn brightly with all the love
and joy
and hope
and peace
that is woven into the fabric of our being
to burn brightly
revealing
warming
igniting
touching those around us
with our words
our acts of kindness
our generosity
touching those around us
with love
and igniting in them
the flame
that is the Sacred
drawing from them all that is good
all that is holy
offering warmth and comfort
we are each of us
a work of art
a light in the darkness
