During Candlelighting for Shabbat


Sweet flood of anticipation,
I place brass candle holders  on linen
Polished, their luminescence brightens
In candle flame.
Pulling light, closer, closer, closer,
my hands circle three times.
Whispering blessings
Flame warmth engenders memories
of loving hands circling.
I feel the holiness light my mother’s face.
