Candlelight becomes Moth

Inside a lover's heart there's another world,

and yet another...

Inside the Friend of this community of lovers,

an ear that interprets mystery,

a vein of silver in the ground, another in the sky!

Intellect and compassion are ladders we climb,

and there are other ladders as we walk the night
hearing a voice that talks of forgiveness...

Inside Sham's universe candlelight itself
becomes a moth to die in his candle...
