*I
am
cautious
with my hope
and optimism
for the year, 2021
but even so, I keep the
flame of this candle
well - fed*
I light this candle
in memory of those
who have lost their
lives in the previous
year as well as to
honour every
hardworking soul
in the frontlines
In such dark times, it
is hard to remember
the light I implore us
all to keep it all ignited
I speak to us as one
race and one race alone
To all my fellow people
my brothers and sisters
all over the world
please keep your candle
lit, never forget what has
been lost. Stay safe and
well all of you May 2021
be a year of blessings
and successes
STAY HOPEFUL

The days seem to be blurring more and more.
With all that's happened in 2020, it didn't really feel like a new year and in a way, it still doesn't for me. So much has really dawned on me and Ive spent so much time brooding and just lost in my own head.
Even so, I just wanted to keep hope alive for this year.
So many lives have been lost in 2020.
I pray for all of my fellow poets.
May you and your loved ones be in great health and happiness and if you have lost someone you love, to the virus or not, I pray they rest in peace.
I'm cautiously optimistic so officially [though it's a day late], I wish you all a happy new year.
Keep hope alive in your hearts.
We shall get through this storm together for we are one.
Stay safe out there everyone.
Leave a candle in the comments to show your hope for this year.
🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️
Much love and blessings,
