To focus on a candle’s flame Incense burning calming same Releasing at least some of the blame Disavowing that which we did claim. Burning into the mind Is the fire refined Examining the past & behind Remembering that which is intertwined. No sound but breathing Variable and light In thought one takes flight To focus such can bring delight. © ed 6/26/09
