One Flame Alight
One flame alight
traversing many shores
nations finding conscience
from heart and eyes long closed.
Come worlds to awaken
the sanctity of life
against China's inhumanity
and its coldest betrayal.
The hour beckons
a torch to raise high
solemn a tearful courage
together the promise fulfilled.
Bearing word to song
our voices like sabre
shine here to horizons all
with this one flame alight.
Light
Light, to long the embrace
shining from heart and beyond
distance, no measure
darkness, no shadow
one fire unfettered
come miniscule the sun
such worlds never to wane.
A spark inside every star and sphere
can we see without our eyes?
Fruits aside from its labours
perennial, not captive between
dawn and any twilight hour.
Here, through winters
refusing to fade with a flower
be quelled throughout the Ages.
Behind our frames
words restless and all
my song, my cadence
light, too long the wait
for this embrace.
