Sometimes
It is enough
To light a candle.
Even though
It only flickers
The thought
Lingers.
By the virgin
Beneath the cross
Would it could
Assuage the pain
Again and again
It still stands
In the darkness
Helpless
Selfless.
Someone
Must have
Put a shilling
In the box.
So I join my prayer
To all those
Silently
Standing there.
