What happens when a candle burns?
Does wax turn into air?
What happens when a fire glows?
Does matter disappear?
Can voices translate into light?
Can sounds become a prayer?
What happens when we speak to Him?
What takes our message there?
When carbon burns, electrons move –
Wax makes new energies –
The fire makes cool matter hum –
Creates electric bees.
The hive turns sound to radiance –
With colored frequencies –
Our words pass through glass fiber cells
In honeyed melodies.

wishing for a response poem.
Thank you for asking for a response. I have pondered, spoken with a physics skater, and added the response to the original verses.
clh, i like it! especially the bees. either part would work on its own, as well as together with the other, and i like that too. a very flexible creation.
