Torchlight

“One tiny flame could make

so many other flames;

one tiny flame

could set afire

the whole world.”

— Anne Rice

begin with one flame

start of tomorrow’s bright light

history on fire

  1. Mary, I really wanted to tell you how much I like your haiku! It’s a wonderful combination of imagery and profound meaning that immediately captivated me. It conveys a powerful message about the cycle of hope and remembrance. It encourages us to reflect on our past and at the same time look optimistically to the future.

    Mary, I wish you all the best!
