One Candle Burns

By facing death,
we embrace life more

We see the limits,
each minute core

Seen as a friend,
all life betroths

Each moment treasured,
our loved ones close

And when we face
that final day

A voice more gentle,
bids us sway

Into the dark,
one candle burns

Death's welcome light
-for our return

(Villanova Pennsylvania: July, 2019)
