Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Hanukkah Lights

source
One
Single
Candle flame
Glows in darkness
To mark the first night
Come the second night, two
Twin flames dancing together
Shine even  brighter  as a pair
Each night the candles grow one by one
Eight lights remind us of miracles
Remind us of times long ago
Remind  us of  renewal
Remind us to have faith
One candle, one flame
Solitary
Become more
Become
Shared
