Morning Flicker, Step 11


Morning Flicker
-Laurie Benson ©

I light a candle
every morning
meditation.

For my children and
their child and
their loves.

For compassion, even
for me
and for God and His
Wife and
their Son.

I light a candle
every morning
meditation

For my husband and
for me and
for us.

I sit and watch
them flicker
wondering if the
dim or the bright
the shadows
and the light

Are the feelings
of my loved ones,
every one.

I light a candle
every morning
meditation.

For the world,
and unspeakable
pain,
for joy and for
bliss,
for sorrow and
for this
day, this twenty-four
hours full
of 
moments.

At the end of
every morning
meditation,
For my children and
their child and
their loves,

I breathe, I sigh,
sometimes weep
or barely cry,

Then I gently bow,
blow out the light
for now,
and I'm at 
one.
