The Flame of Light

Darkness covered all over everywhere there seemed to be nothing but dark one's hands could feel the lack of light all the darkness had really left its mark In a corner, I came across a little candle struck a match to switch on a light all of a sudden a flame did appear making all around so very bright Here you have a picture of life the flame is humanity truly living for God brought here this flame of life this blessing comes down from heaven But looking on at this golden flame it's one single flame shining bright the God of creation in a moment will blow that flame out of sight Everyone represents that flame one day each flame will blow out when your life will be no more be sure to make your flame count (Some thoughts when having a power cut this week on our lives as a little candle )

How true Gordon, If we don't we will have to beware - so therefore we must always be prepared to keep that flame burning - interesting maybe is that in the Greek Orthodox religion we have a small jug like container and should have a candle burning everyday, which i must say i slip up with sometimes, but feel so whole when it is burning! Poetry hugs, Jennifer

Thanks Jennifer, Glad you liked it and that's interesting about the Greek Orthodox church having candlelight all day. is the Greek Orthodox church strong in SA? Blessings and hugs, Gordon
