the autumn leaves fall
like dancing fire from blue skies
waters begin to freeze
mountains don’t ask why
for when you wait for long
deep down you know
some things take a very long time
we prove we love by sometimes letting go
the buttercups have gone to sleep
the silver sun floats amidst gray skies
yes there is a life
with no lies
where we drift
from one continent to another
rediscovering life again
together
as time ticks
and life goes by
may we be as brave as
monarch butterflies
find beauty in laugh lines
and fearless silver strands
gaze at the beautiful heavens
wait for the dancing fire to fall into our hands

REFLECTIONS 
A beautiful, uplifting and meditative piece, Sobhana, and vivid imagery, that dancing fire in the blue and grey.

Thank you, Steve. I came across Helen Keller’s words today and it resonated with me…”So much has been given to me; I have no time to ponder over that which has been denied”. It is Fall here in Vancouver and so much beauty all around…lots of dancing fires 🙂

How lovely! This is wonderful. I can only echo what Steve has said. I shall look for Helen Keller’s work.
