Poem-By Creating Light
We are the generations that stand between the fires.
Behind us is the flame and smoke that rose from Auschwitz and from Hiroshima,
From the burning of our Towers, From the torching of our forests
Before us is the nightmare of a Flood of Fire:
The scorching of our planet,
Or the blazing of our cities in thermonuclear fire or the glare of gunfire.
It is our task to make from fire not an all-consuming blaze
But the light in which we see each other; Each of us different.
All of us made in the image of God.
We light this fire to see more clearly that the earth, the human race, are not for burning.
We light this fire to see more clearly the rainbow in our many-colored faces.
