Flame the Next

{There is hope.

Synicism is welcome, 

but not allowed to take over...

Remember

that within you 

(metaphorically, of course ;))  

are shadows

created by the lights

that exist

within the same space.

We have it in us to love -

just as much as

we have it in us to do much worse - 

All is not lost...

Thankful for being created with potential...

for you too

are able to love.

Merry Christmas :),

- C} 

Born into dawn,
Born into dark -
          under threat of certain death...
     Dark 
     always 
     returns.
Creator 
     becomes the created.
     Again and again.

All is not lost.

Born into love,
Born into light -
     into arms 
          raised and made 
          strong by love
          in days gone by -
     arms 
          strengthened to 
          hold and
          love the next.
     Light 
     always
     returns.
Creator 
     learns love from the created.
     Again and again.

All is not lost.

Sun and moon
          in sync with our 
          souls of 
          various gray...
     Neither one 
          nor the other:
Dark and Light 
     continue their dance.
     Again and again.

All is not lost.

Break of day
     (as always)
               bursting forth
     with rays
               from our hearts - 
     to raise 
               the Light
     to raise 
               from the Dark.

All is not lost.

Born to raise
God;
     light ushered into 
     darkness:
          welcomed by a candle
          already 
          lit.

All is not lost..
     
     For 
          we must remember:
          we proved 
          we could love, before 
          we stooped to kill.

Again and again.

Light preceeded 
     light.
Cycle:
     flame the next 
          flame.

All is not lost.
