Candles of Eight

Candles lit one by one
Apples for snacks on the go
Not a word to be said
Doing a prayer by each candle
Lit up in perfect harmony
Elephant tusk decorate the table
So long the prayer is

Over the walls and through the ceiling
Falling down in a manner well meaning

Eight candles lit on the final day
In silence the last prayer gets said
Goodness to all who celebrates
Happy holidays full of cheer
Time to call it a long week

Prompt: Candles of eight
