Kobe Luminarie (神戸ルミナリエ)
Kobe, Kansai
Honshu, Japan
Winter, December 2013
I see the flickering flame
And marvel at its brightness
Its warmth
Though its light
Is quite tiny
Somehow
The brightness
Illuminates the room
And manages
To brighten
My heart—
For in this flame
Burns a steady promise
Of a love and friendship shared
Across miles and miles
On this earthly plane
And when I feel the steady warmth
Flowing from my heart
And see the light shining
Like a tiny beacon of hope—
I know that this little candle
Is a symbol of love and warmth
And truth.
Thank you, dear friend.
In finding you,
I am finding me again.
"Candlelight" Poem by Pamela Rae
