One Flame

  • Post category:poetry

One flame can only light one corner
One flame can light another 

Two flames can light two corners
Two flames can each light another,
set them aglow, spread the light

Four flames can each light a corner
Light an entire room
and one room can ignite another

Two rooms can set aglow two more
and spread the light
Light a home

Each flame continues to light another,
spreading the light,
lighting every corner of the world
Every room, every house, every Heart

If we all share our light with another
Eventually all will be illuminated
and the World will no longer
be in darkness
