These Candles, Our Bodies

These candles, our bodies, see how they burn

How many hours will they last--days, months, years?

Look at the warmth and comfort we can give to each other or to anything that comes close.

One of the components of lasting art is a spirit flame within the created

That can ignite inspiration and hope, and survive time's ways
