Three Candles1 min read

Wall of candles

Wall of warmth

A strong scent of melting wax fills the corridor

Readying to enter the silent chamber of prayer and tears

Hopeful

Alone

A single candle flickers

I knock

I enter

The tears flow

A year later

Shattered halves reunited

Blissful

Thankful

Dry bones brought to life

I return to this wall of candles

This time with two in my hand

And my beloved at my side

We knock

We enter

The tears flow

Today

Hearts overflowing

Indescribably grateful

We return to this silent place

Everything here is the same

Our lives have been transformed

My wife lowers the hood of the carriage

The light bothers his sweet little eyes

We face the wall of warmth once more

Three candles in our hands

We knock

He smiles

We enter

The tears mingle

With gurgles of joy
