Candlelight Vigil

They stand in fragile circles Lighting candles for their dead As the memories that float on the breeze Are all that they have left The tears that pass between them Have a somber silence that's deafening You can feel the souls they're crying for Touch them on the winds of change As they light another candle Another day goes by With the tears that keep on flowing Where they are forced to wonder why
