Echoes of Light, page 25
They stood in the kitchen, and they lit candles in the gathering darkness. Two candles for Jerael and Shiloh. Three candles for Epher, Maya, and Mica. And a sixth candle—for Zohar and all her lost children.
The three siblings stood in silence for a long time, staring at the lights. The candles flickered on the table until all the world became their glow and memory.
Then, slowly, Ofeer lifted one of the candles, and she began to sing. She did not march through the house, chin raised, casting back darkness. She did not sing with a loud, proud voice. She sang softly, the same old song from home, but here it became a song of mourning. Of loss. Of remembrance.
Koren and Atalia raised their own candles, and they sang with her. Like the candlelight, their voices were warm, comforting in the night. Three voices, weaving together. Three siblings, grieving and lost. Three broken souls, seeking healing. Their song filled the house, rising stronger—a song to banish shadows, to remember a lost home, and to always find light.
