To a Candle
by Teresa Burleson
How small you are,
One flickering flame
Against the all-encroaching night.
Yet you laugh at the gloom.
You are lost in worship,
Caught up in the dance
That began
Before there was time.
Unabashed,
You keep reaching
For the Most High,
The Light Himself.
And so one small candle
Dispels the darkness.
