A light in the darkness
Warmth from the cold
Survival to some
Destruction for others.
It lit our way out of caves
And gave us the spark to be more.

Wow! The candle drew me into this and the words are stellar!
ReplyDeleteEric- Thanks so much. I was at a loss this week, but found the candle pic buried in my saved files. It worked out perfectly. :) I appreciate you stopping in.
DeletePerfect!
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks Heather!! :)
Deletebeautiful poetry, Hope.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful photo and lovely words.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot! And words of truth.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Fire, and a burning candle in particular, have so many meanings. I had a hard time deciding on a direction for this, so I started at the beginning. eep!!
DeleteReally like both the picture and the words that are with it.
ReplyDeleteA candle...always a nice addition
ReplyDeleteThank you Karen! I do love some candlelight.
DeleteLove it! I love the photo, too!
ReplyDeletegreat shot!
This brings me right back to my roots for sure.
ReplyDeletethank you! a beautiful photo as well! jean
Jean, I was totally pulled all the way back to the roots of fire for some reason. I can't even explain where that came from. I'm pleased you like! :)
DeleteReally nice, Hope! And I've been meaning to ask... where in Alabama are you from? I grew up in Huntsville and I've got family all around the state. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteI'm FROM Mobile, but now I live across the Bay from it in Fairhope. I've got quite a few friends in Huntsville myself. . .and all around the state. Nice to meet another Alabamian!
I LOVE Mobile and have quite a bit of family around there still. We used to spend every spring break and quite a few Thanksgivings there at my great aunt's place on Dog River.
DeleteThat's so cool. . .even weirder, I have a great aunt who lives on Dog River. She lives WAY upriver though and we never got in the water up there. :)
DeleteHow very powerfully archetypal! I love the connect to the allegory of the cave. All things are a double-edged sword, that gives life and can take it away. Nice!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you saw so much in my few words. Thank you. Sometimes the words get away from before I even have a chance to think about them. I think they all came together. :)
DeleteStunning. On both counts.
ReplyDeleteLovely inviting photo. Stirring inspiring words.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Challenge! Enjoy the day! Erin
