I light candles every morning, there are several of them on my altar. Since I arise early, they dance in the dark and I dance with them. This is one of my favorite times of day.

Flickering candlelight draws me in

like the moth to the flame.

Mesmerizing me as a belly dancer

with undulating glimmers.

Waves of light breaking

upon my shores.

Whispers of ancient pasts

calling me to prayer.

Stillness resting against

this fluttering luminosity

casting shadows on the walls.
