A Candles walk

Ablaze this candle of my write
Surrounded by this gloom of night
Lighting like a star on high
For every candle is a sigh

My candle flickers on the wall
Making patterns of enthrall
Setting wings a mind to fly
Turning me a butterfly

And there I sail within the hues
The golden amber of the blues
Lifting me in minds of rise
Gifting me with dreams surmise

But fire eats the tallow’s flow
Dissolves its life to make it glow
And as the candle dims each send
A puff of smoke leaves each end

We light them just to light our day
To warm our love along the way
To make a field of preen for thee
To sail infinities green sea

And if I could a better goal
I’d even light my very soul

Happy Hanukkah To The Tabins
Hanukkah Song

pssst - Your soul is your light Sy, and ours too    
Now you've done it - all I can sing is, "This Little Light Of Mine, I'm Gonna Let It Shine."

You soul, alight and evergreen,
whose flames of life enhancing,
strike the fires of inner eye,
weave spells in shadow dancing.



May your holidays be blessed!

You ARE a candle's glow, yanno?
Happiest of holidays to you!
Mine is going to be a memorable one (moving)
two days after Christmas.
Will be waving at you next year!

I am never, ever a soul misplaced
when I take a moment out from space
to center into thoughts of yours;
from all of that, I am reassured...

that a read of yours will hold some reason,
encompassing each and every season;
the grace and compass of all that passes,
for every one, lads and lasses...

and never do I find, oh no!
a poem that doesn't suit, just so.



Merry Christmas, Seymour!
We all love you!
