A SOLITARY CANDLE
A solitary candle
A humble, quiet token.
The merest spark of hopefulness
that left the dark unbroken.
It whispered to the empty night
of innocence too brief,
of bravery midst adversity
of anguished souls in grief.
Through tear-dimmed eyes it shimmered
a solemn, lonely flame.
Its whisper caught the evening breeze
and soon more candles came.
A thousand burning candles
a golden, shining sea.
Lit a nation's darkened heart
revealing Unity.
