Candle of Hope

Forgiveness is a candle
A fragile hope's diminished flame
Persisting for peace and the dying of resentment
Reside in the middle of such chivalrous fire

In the heart a pyre was set
Weak indigenous periodic flames
Kindled from a dying profile
No fuel was ever a waste
Memory detox the use
Reconciling the past

Healing is a flickering flame
As fragile as the shadow of hope
Persisting for peace and the dying of prejudice
Walk in the streams of such a chivalrous fire

In the heart a pyre was set
Strengthening periodic flames
Kindled amidst hopeful ashes
No tear fuel were wasted
Requiem detox healing
Reconciling the past
