A peace candle on Holocaust Rembrance day

Shadows in the darkness,

fading memories

waning

with the loss

of daylight

and the dying

of the undead.

Quietude in the noise

and the sobbing

cello

sounds

its lamentation.

A single candle

in the street

says nothing.

A candle

in every street

calls the world

to hope.
