The flame chosen freely  
does not remain hidden.  
It rises, becoming a torch  
that lights the horizon.

ignites the flame of many.

driving back the shadows.

The torch reaches beyond the pond.  
Its glow touches unseen lands,  
calling yet-unborn to the covenant.

The torch is not for night alone.  
It becomes herald of dawn,  
reminding the pond that morning always comes.
