“The grand naked strength of their trunks / Begins to be revealed once again…”

“Offer mercy through all eyes that see them although their intimate gaze is hidden.”

“We created this mayhem in the night time / because our hearts were full of fear,” and now we must live in its shadow.

“The candle flames like stars / gleaming in the night sky…”

“Hers is the only festival empowered to span two moons.”

“The candles glow, tender, bright, something like your presence in my heart.”

“Backwards we are telling the story the prophet Elijah standing on the street corner”

“In times of hatred, / let there be light. / In times of fear,    let there be light…”

“This small blue box, / four inches tall, / holds forty-four candles.”
