Text: Garth Bardsley

A flame
Dispels the dark
Its delicate light repels the shadows 

A flame alone
Brings within its flicker
A welcoming warmth 

A single flame
That shares its light
Is but strengthened by this splitting in two

And as each flame
Begets another
Its life and light is multiplied
To become unending
Forever burning
A beacon that both beckons and guides

So to light the world
