I am the Candle Flame
I am the candle flame for Tibet on high
My country stolen mountains in the sky
Valleys weep your clouds float on by
Freedom taken from me that’s why I cry
Oh mountain trails how I miss your track
My flame burns bright I want you back
Within my soul I yearn my eyes wet
Tibet you were my life ill not forget
Why did you come take my home away?
Even then you didn’t ask I had no say
You stole my heart my spirit all I had
Now here I burn my flame bright but sad
What did I do I ask the question why
For I grow weary to see my land for I die
Here I stand you smile look down on me
Ill fight for you till my death to set you free
So many years i've suffered silent in pain
How I yearn to touch your gentle soil again
To climb to yonder mountain peek above
Once more my spirit to feel of your love

Vigil
Where are you now,with your palms together,
bowing,
your dark red robes
wrapping the wisdom
of a thousand years,
white knife peaks,
and over six thousand
monasteries?
Your home not your home
and yet your home always,
you wander,
you meditate,
you chant and pray;
you teach, you love,
or you stay
and must keep quiet.
Yet prayer flags still blow
in high Tibetan air,
prayer flags still blow
in the deep dark-eyed hearts
of your people.
There are places
the intruders,
the violators
cannot reach–
places alive with
the smiles and tears
of your lost land.
Red robed ones
with your calm eyes
upon the world,
you who pay homage
to the consciousness
in all things,
you who see far beyond
appearances:
you know past time,
you love past duality,
and yet you cry too.
The mountains of Tibet,
the vast plateaus and
green valleys,
the sky lakes and blue rivers,
the sons and daughters
of this sacred land
know and wait for you,
and for their time
within space and beyond
to be free.

Please, add our banners;; to your website or blog, and help spread the Light of Freedom! There is a selection of sizes; choose what suits your site and post them. We need to reach as many people as we possibly can and... you can help!!!
Candle For Tibet is the place to meet like-minded people who care about freedom and want to have a say about it.
You can learn about Tibet from member contributed photos, videos, music, blogs, forums, events, and groups. In turn, you can enrich others with your own contributions!
CFT is unlike any other social network on the web.
On August 7, 2008, the day before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Beijing, CFT members created the World’s Greatest Light Protest for the freedom of Tibet!
For 24 hours, the glowing candles of CFT members worldwide focused global attention upon the Human Rights violations endured by the people of Tibet.
And that is just the beginning! We have much more work to do, so watch for updates on future events!
Together, we will work to keep the flames of protest against human suffering burning brightly until all people the world over are free!
We hope that you'll find your experience here educating, empowering, and fun.
Love, Peace, Freedom.
Ank and all her friends for a FREE TIBET.
