A Candlemas Poem, from Diane Stein's book, "Casting the Circle"
Night of lit white candles, darkness turned into light, "Everything she touches changes".
Feast of waxing flame, fire of heart and hearth, fire on the mind, flickering of spark, quickening of air, warming into inspiration, thawing in her innocence, snow into desire. "She shines for all of us, She burns within us all",
Spiral heat of life, "She shines for all of us, within us all She burns",
The fires to create, "She shines in all of us, She burns us all within",
Awakening, arising is her need, "She shines for all of us, She burns within us all",
Her candle her only source.

I Say Yes
I say YES to my life, I say YES to love, i say YES to a one-world family, I say YES to a planet at peace, I say YES to all the children everywhere, I say YES to us.
