On Wings

The summer passes
like all things
     but holding onto 
the candles we have lit
  we can circumvent 
the passage of time
   our small lights
will continue to shine
   through fall and on
into winter
    In the waning of the
year
    We'll continue to 
celebrate
   the fact that we have 
our songs to sing
       and our voices 
shall rise 
          up to the heavens
  past the chill, we'll find 
warmth
       Although it must come to and 
end
     we'll laugh in the face of time
again and again
         Althoa
