The ancient Chandler

The ancient Chandler                                                                                   

God bless the Candlemaker and the candle
lighted within each of our chests.  God bless

the projected light and shadow images
flickering upon the curtained screen,

emerging from the tumultuous awakening
of God within us.  God bless the candleglow

illuminating each drop soul, defining its boundaries,
disclosing its purity, eventually to reveal

its origin and essence.  God bless
the lighting of one candle by another;

the flame of longing and the mingling of light.
God bless the yielding of darkness

and the opening of the gates. 
God bless the ancient Chandler,

His duty to perform – the dispelling
of darkness by the light of Love.

O child of God, if you must use words to describe
Meher’s Light, then you have not yet begun to burn.
