sanctuary

[Grace]

sanctuary

Candles flicker
with begged forgiveness,

each tender wick
a glowing reminder,

each drop of wax
a tear sliding down
the father's cheek.

Having lit them all,
I wait for him to come.

I love this poem. A sanctuary of peace, light &
prayers. It made me think of a quote from Psalms
"My soul waits in silence for God alone".  The piece
makes sense to me  if  "father" and "he" are read as
Father and He.
