Love Letter 59 One Candle Many Breaths

I light this candle for you
in case
you come home
tonight
and I don't recognize
how the world has been saved
by your existence
I light this candle for you
in case
you forget your own footsteps
are the work
of God
and I light this candle for you
in case
the world
hasn't heard
of you yet
and the fire of your love
is warming
a thousand
violets afraid of the sun
let this candle
keep you going
until
we all wake up
and bow
to the breath
of the One Beloved
who lives in
You
and You
and You
and All
of All
and
All

I Love You
Your Beloved
