Keeper of the Candle
The Keeper of the candle has immortal trust.
Note anyone who has ever held the handle
on secrets - sparks in the mind all set to combust,
the Keeper of the candle.
Without the intention of libelous scandal,
without insinuation from the upper crust,
without indulgences, I removed my sandal.
Standing on holy ground, with a heavenly thrust,
spirit/soul conquered Satan, that covert vandal.
And immortality was proved by One who's just,
the Keeper of the Candle.
July 25, 2021
with a nod to Diane Chamberlain and her books
on the Keeper of the Light.
