Enlighten

If a single candle can 

yet brighten a world
and deliver it from darkness,

then will we take that single step

to move the light onward,

pressing fore and not back?

This seems to me
the greatest act of all.

From the flame we need

only the slightest shield,

for our eyes to render

where we truly walk.

It is we

who must move the light
to go

where we have not.
