Light a Candle for Peace at
May this candle of peace
in my heart
light a candle for peace
in yours,
that lights another
candle for peace
in its turn,
until, all over the world,
the candle of peace
in our hearts,
burning brightly,
shines enough light
to illuminate
and unite
the whole world
in the peace and justice
all beings
long for.
The prompt at Poets United's Wonder Wednesday is: Wax. I am a huge fan of scented candles and incense. When I have those, I feel truly rich. We also always have white candles in the cupboard for winter storms, when trees fall across the hydro wires and the power goes out. But I thought of another kind of candle today.
