Faith in the Flame


by John Hearn

Faith in the flame, and

Hope for Him who lit it, brings

Love out of darkness.

My mother feeds me,

And I tell her my secrets;

No monsters come near.

Bitter and alone,

The cold wind with its icy rain,

Brings the sound of a bell.

When I see your eyes,

All my remembered darkness

Fades in your love's fire.
