light the candle
a poem
This piece first appeared on my Instagram profile and is a response to the Day 2 prompt in the Create Anyway challenge.
This 5 day challenge is hosted by The Breath and the Clay and Create Anyway.
watch the flame lick down the match
feel the heat on fingers
sniff the wilderness inside the smoke
let the flicker of the wick
burn doubt to ash
yes, she is here
warmth spreading wide
scent spiraling high
shine melting shadow
she is here
wax withers
reminding me
presence
shapes
by incineration
grace glows
hot
sculpting scarcity
carving
curves of kindness
let light
torch trust
yes, love is here
