The Light of Christ

Five candles placed within a wreath,
Reminds us of the end of grief.
That night the Light of Christ shined

The holy season has begun,
light five tapers, one by one.

The first candle represents reprieve,
by Jesus coming Christmas

Sacred symbol,

Fragrant pine,

Endless circle, lush green limb,

Eternal love, to never end.

A time to be aware and alert,

a circle of green

     candles in between

three purple one pink

     with a common

Four candles
hold the corners
of the fragrant circle.
The fifth, last lit,
rises over them all.

Each candle a song,
bursting
