The Candle's Sacrifice
The Candle's Sacrifice

"Behold the candle how it gives its light. It weeps its life away drop by drop in order to give foth its flame of light"
'Abdu'l-Baha1

Drop by drop the candle bleeds
offering up its life
as a sacrifice.

Drops of wax descend,
as the flame burns clear and bright;
illuminating the night.

O Lord, let my odes
be candles to humanity
lighting the darkness
with the radiance of unity.
