In the stillness where shadows creep A flame awakens from its sleep It does not roar it does not shout Yet in its glow all fears burn out The flame is fragile small yet bold Its warmth defies the cruelest cold It whispers softly Do not fear For even I can light the sphere No storm can snuff its sacred fire It burns with hope a hearts desire In every flicker courage thrives A testament to burning lives Be your own flame in silent halls A spark that rises when it falls Though quiet it will guide the way And turn the darkest night to day
