Candle

The candle over the heart
burned for days, on and an,
keeping the hopes alight
extending the prayers
through the long,
dark night
the flame steady
in the stillness
providing stillness
amidst all the days activities

Year 2 prayer

I am the prayer,
as with every breath
I lean into my spine
and remember
for the eternity within each moment
that I am,
and give thanks
