The Torch



To ignite the torch

behold its timeless fire

bearing promise and hope renewed

across horizons far and wide.



Let its precious light

shine upon every heart and travail

for all humanity to prosper

and justice to forever prevail.



From Athens to nations alike

freedom to find courage and song

to diminish China's darkness

and right its many wrongs.



Awakening a stifled conscience

come follow the emerging flame

raising truth from the fading embers

bringing persecution to shame.



Behind the walls and tears

a beckoning from Ages past

when peace unfolds to glory days

from realms where shadows cast.



Closer to the hour

a turning of bitter tides

distant to now destined shores

together towards brighter skies.



To ignite the torch

behold its timeless fire

bearing promise and hope renewed

across horizons far and wide.







One Flame



One flame

for many a heart

come light this darkest hour

one torch

to shine and behold

like a blossom of the brightest flower.



One dream

to hold forever high

with hope of new horizons

one flame

for many a heart

and truth when all said and done.





(Inspired by the "Human Rights Torch Relay" - a global initiative to raise awareness of the ongoing persecution against Falun Gong

practitioners and other prisoners of conscience

preceding the 2008 Olympic Games).
