      Fold Unsealed - Edwidge B.Roumer

      Burning Candle

      Dim flame of hope

      That flickers in the dark

      Far window in the deepest night,

      Burn slow, burn long

      To carry each uttered prayer

      On imperceptible rays

      Linking us to the heavens.

      Faint light of trust

      That dances on the tabletop

      In a thousand flittering steps,

      Burn strong, burn low

      To consume each little tear,

      To absorb each little hurt

      With every blink and every sway.

      Burning candle of faith,

      Companion of frightful nights,

      Burn steady, burn hot,

      Burn until you warm my heart,

      And in a whisper,

      Murmur my secrets in the wind

      Like an angel’s breath in God’s ear.

      The Angel

      The angel is alarmed by the many tears

      Shed in one breath.

      He sits at the foot of the bed,

      In the shadows of the night,

      Saddened by our feelings of defeat.

      He comes into our dreams to comfort our soul.

      He brings brief moments of relief,

      Transforming himself into

      What our heart desires most.

      He becomes the lover we long for,

      The companion we ache for,

      The faithful friend who understands,

      The protector and the provider.

      He loves with all his might

      In a heavenly embrace.

      The angel brings us images

      Of splendor and ecstasy

      In a harmonious world of constant symphony.

      He is the beauty that transcends,

      He is the evanescent fluid

      That penetrates and permeates,

      He is the glimpse of light

      In the corner of our eyes,

      The one who gives us hope

      In the midst of chaos.

      Times Such as These

      It’s at times such as these

      That a pinch in my heart

      Reminds me that I’m not healed,

      That I can once again

      Succumb to the darkness

      And surrender to the void

      That hides within me.

      It’s at times such as these

      That I look around for a gentle touch,

      For a hand to hold me,

      For a shoulder to support me,

      And a smile to encourage me;

      But as I look around

      Upon those dear to me,

      I see them hurrying to live their lives,

      Too busy to notice my pain,

      Absorbed by their own burdens.

      It’s at times such as these

      That I realize how alone we are

      Within ourselves and with each other.

      As loneliness pervades my body

      And penetrates my soul,

      Once more I reach out

      Beyond the clouds

      To the
