'Light A Candle...' Poem by Elizabeth Padillo Olesen

Come on, let’s light candles
Only light can drive out darkness
in a blank, empty and open space.

Come on, let us bring hope
to the weary and lost souls
Let our candles lead the way through.

Come on, let us break walls
Let the candles melt the
chains that imprison and divide us all.

And so, let us beat the drums
Dance when morning comes
And let our candles
Be lighted in all our nights.
