Me or You

Who lit the candle ?

Whose careful kindling

set the spark upon the wick

igniting the light

to lick,

to kiss,

to adventure

into the darkness.

Who lit the candle ?

Whose tender compassion

sought solace for a friend

colours their dark

to send,

to mend,

with fostered care.

Who lit the candle ?

Whose tears of ignition

conjured, for a moment,

a lighted pathway,

where

none before was mapped.

Who lit the candle ?

Who started the conversation ?

Me or You.
