Falling light
in this falling light I see
darkness and shadow are
the counterbalance
to the flame that burns
at the center
of
everything

The photo is breathtaking ... the poem prayerlike. Amazing work ...
Balance. Yes.
Oh, the colors, the colors! So luscious and rich--and such a composition-- you have outdone yourself here!
Oui, cette balance ombre-lumière est un symbole de la Vie !
Le pile et de face , le haut et le bas .....
Le plus souvent , on refuse de voir l'ombre , on ne veut voir que ce qui nous semble positif !
More words to add to the treasure box in my mind!
Thanks
Lovely photo and poem.
Yes .... darkness is as necessary as light. As Jean says.
And as always, beautiful.
Balance, always balance...
alan
oh, perfect, mb!
...a nice reminder...
Can light exist without darkness? Certainly not in this poem. Love it!!
Just plain lovely. And insightful. And true.
I love the simplicity and truth of this picture and the words you have chosen for it.
this one knocked me out
with its complex layers
of simplicity
thank you
Dark and light
Yin and yang
Balance.
Thankyou for this. I shall carry it with me today,
Becca, yes, it is something close to a little prayer.
Mermaid, balance to me is a perpetual shifting, which makes it slightly deceptive, or at least counterintuitive.
Firebird, thank you. Candle light and reflections are fun to work with!
Jean, je crois qu'il peut etre que positif n'existe pas sans negatif. La lumiere n'existe pas sans l'ombre, certainement.
Charlie, I agree with you. One doesn't exist, or function, without the other in a life.
Endment, thank you. I'm honored you found something of value here.
Robin Andrea, thank you very much.
Mary, yet as we well know, it's not always easy to accept that they are both necessary. ;-)
Michelle, thanks. That's my piano!
Alan, always balance and never the same!
Polona, thank you for your kind words.
Chuck, thanks. Funny what can be found in a candle...
Pat, thank you.
Pauline, I'm pleased you enjoyed it.
Bitterroot, there was some paring down involved!
Floots, that's a very fine turn of phrase, "complex layers of simplicity." Thank you.
Herhimnbryn, thanks for your comment. It's much appreciated!
