burning moment

some friends and I share candles
as a reminder of our commitment
to pray for one another
demonstrating a bond of the heart
that has no physical limitations

our candles burning in different places
all praying the same silent prayer
of friendship and love

my candle burns often

when I write
it is lit

to help make my writing a way of praying
and when I pray
it is lit

to connect me with my friends
