Hold on, Sweet Flame
April 29, 2013
Hold on, sweet flame,
To the wick of life.
Burn the dark silence, fight, for light.
Dance against the blows of the wind,
Mock their solemnity with soft laughs and
Spear the shadows with bright incite.
Scream for what stays true,
Let your words take flight,
A dove of hope, breaking the dark spell of the night.
Stay strong for the lost,
The blind, the deaf and the hopeless.
And let your fire burn endless.
Hold on, sweet flame,
To the wick of life.
