My Candle of Colors

Missing image
I have made a candle
Of many distinct colors
a wondrous beauty for
my sisters and brothers

When I burn my candle
Colors merge together
And they all become one
To last in unity forever



The sangria symbolizes
Passion and love
From the earth, that
Is tender as a gentle dove

The cool stream of respect
And the calm of peace
The eye of the Divine
For all hatred to cease

leaves swirling round
all healing and sharing
A heart that is sincere
And full of genuine caring

a color so mellow
Is this one to find
Seeking high aspirations
like the sun, an open mind

Creativity and free expression
In this earthy color found
Closeness and communication
A global community all around

And when I burn my candle
The scent will Fill the air
With all of the colors together
In a sweetness wondrous fair

And when I burn this candle
It will symbolize my desire
To be a likeness in the world
Of this little flame of fire

To expand and discover
Like the scent and the smoke
To share with the earth
All of my love and my hope!

    And when I burn this candle
