The Smell of Candles

When I smell a candle it evokes
Stillness, sacredness, timelessness
It creates a crevice in space,
The eternal knowing seeps thru
Gathers me in a wispy cloud
And melds into my being

When I smell a candle it transports me
thru time and the slivers of space in between
It propels me thru the web of inner and outer space
And I surface transformed and yet essentially me

The smell of candles stirs memories
Of melodies and songs intricately laced
Remembrances lost and forgotten
Awakened in the dawn of my soul
