Night Fall

"There is no hope for it then but to ignite the more, 
that our lights might make a circle, a bonfire even."

Each time I read this, I feel it more deeply.
"solitary sentinels on a hill" 
is how I think of trees. 
Now I think of us.
Each with our particular light, 
glowing gently yet vigorously in the dark.

How to ignite our more? 
Isn't it already ignited?
I think showing those who can't see their own light
how they, too, shine, might be a way to strengthen the bonfire?
It's possible the bonfire is banked temporarily.

"What is the need for fear, for loneliness?
The darkness giving way to [our] weight--
the light of [us]."

Namaste'
