Premium Member Lighting My Candle From Within
I light my candle from within the more I give to you,

An inner strength builds inside, it fills my empty soul,

The encompassing love present when my life was askew,

Needing a reason to get up every morning was my goal,

Volunteering at hospice gave me more, filling...

Tree Lighting
I joined the crowd last night to watch
The local Christmas tree
As it officially got lit,
A lovely sight to see.

Although it’s not my holiday,
The festiveness appealed
And as the neighbors gathered ‘round,
That spirit was revealed.

A choir was accompanied
By instruments of brass
And caroled with enthusiasm
No one could surpass.

The...

Premium Member The Lighting of the Tree
In our little town all is as it should be
We gather down at the Christmas tree

Us simple folk are not too greedy
We all bring gifts to give the needy

Light the tree and sing our songs
As everyone seems to get along

Especially bright this time of year
Everyone...

Prayer of a Midwife On Worldwide Candle Lighting Day
I woke up this morning
Something special on my mind
Today I must light a candle so that
Their Light May Always Shine.

I light it for the babies
That didn’t make this world this time
They died before or after birth, hope 
Their flickering light will always shine.

So many couples...

White Lighting Moonshine
White Lighting Moonshine

drinking 160 proof white lighting moonshine
by the light of the silvery moon
the evening breeze moving through the oak trees
makes me happy
in the Shenandoah Valley 

the firelight flickering bright
as my friends and I 
tell stories some are true some are a lie
but by and...

Chasin’ Lighting – In Honor of the CUA Crew!
Several rickety rides held together with the faith of the ages,
Sages some might say, turnin’ pages of things old and things new, 
The chosen few, riding with the storm,
Lighting flashing on all sides,
Switchin’ gears from fears of...

Premium Member Lighting Bug
Glow little lighting bug, 

Let your bright light shine 

as the air and midnight hour 

all but intertwine. 

 

Flicker with the neon glow, 

just like when I was a child 

watching from the shadows 

of beauty-free and 

wild. 

 

You are but a treasure,...

Premium Member Glowing Toad
Purple twilight darkens the day.
A green tree frog jumps embracing
an ashen bark. His eyes open
to silence, as it stares within
inches of a small flickering,
iridescent lightning bug:
as it brightens up the night.

I am mesmerized and amazed
as I watch the green tree frog jump,
gripping the tree bark...
