I am the flickering speck – of hope

I am the gathering warmth –

                              of human kindness

I am the red-hot touch – of urgent need

I am the gentle light – of understanding

I am the way forward – hold me carefully

I am the burn of passion – 

                             always consider me

I scar forever – treat me safely

I light your way – be enlightened

I am true and positive – believe in me

I seek to light the sky – see beyond me

I am the glimmering spirit – bathe in me

I am the gathered souls – still love me

I am the heart of all that passed before

I am their wish – blown away easily

I am the breath you breathe

I am the life you live

I am the candle

I am the moment

I am the future

Let me burn within you

Changing

Burning

Bringing what should be

 

 

Not an intro poem as such - more of a ‘meld’. I held an ‘Amnesty’ candle whilst reading this and then they went straight into a song they had prepared specially. It were lovely.
