	CANDLES

	By Knarik O. Meneshian

	Flickering candles, burning bright,
	bowing with each breath of rite.
	Rising, falling,
	shedding tears so warm and soft
	that all too soon
	grow cold and hard as stone.

	Oh, ancient light of lights,
	bending with each whisper
	of beseeching prayers.
	To what avail are Sacred Rites,
	when like you,
	they melt into oblivion?
