The Candles Glow
The candles glow.
They light my way
around the camp.
I walk from one to another
to another to another
and think and say a little prayer
for all who hurt this night.
The candles glow
and like a map
they show me where to go
to find my rest this night.
The candles glow.
They light my way
around the camp.
The candles glow.
I thank the Goddess for Her healing.
Now it's my turn to pray
for all those who hurt this night.
The candles glow.

The Grotto della Sibilla in the Umbrian Mountains which was first mentioned in classical legend. Guerino the Wretch reaches a mountain pass near Norcia in Umbria where he meets with the Devil. The Devil, of course, wants Guerino's soul and tempts him by describing a subterranean kingdom where every delight will be his. Seemingly, in this kingdom, trees flower and fruit at the same time and there is no pain or age or sorrow.

This is just lovely Vi. It has acted as a soothing balm and provided comfort to know these candles are burning for us.
