Celebrate

IMG_9003
…if but one candle…

 

Let’s celebrate the truth returning
let love’s flame damp down false fear
our human spirit swells with yearning
sweet logic’s voice again we hear

let love’s flame damp down false fear
illuminate at last this dark
sweet logic’s voice again we hear
extinguish now vile hatred’s spark

illuminate at last this dark
this warmth of truth we need to feel
extinguish now vile hatred’s spark
our hungry hearts seek this that’s real

the warmth of truth we need to feel
our human spirit swells with yearning
our hungry hearts seek this that’s real
let’s celebrate the truth returning

  1. Thanks Rob (took me a moment to see your candle gif – thought I was just getting old ????) and what a fine wish and challenge. The pantoum is such a flexible form – here we have exhortation – others tonight have posted on migraines and migrations.

    1. Thank you Peter. My every day appears as a gif — because I am getting old… 🙂 I came up with another much darker gif, but I know we are suppose to hold it to only one link.
