STRANGE SYNCOPATION

STRANGE SYNCOPATION Shadows dancing aimlessly Around dying candlelight Burning frenetically One last night Strange and wonderful syncopation Too The soul in a pas de deux With a fading sun Folding into a last embrace As one

Listen to the flame

you can hear it dance too, and the slightly eerie dark patches in a room become peopled with the imagination, and to think that the poets of the past wrote in candle-light! What an evocative light to live in, but here you mean it also in another way, lets hope the guttering candle will burn longer and give us more of your poetry Longo, we will keep your candle's' burning when it does die out. Your Anna dalla Norvegia.

Lovely. So very lovely,

Lovely. So very lovely, Joe. When you close your eyes, do you see a blue flame, as if dancing with you? ~A "We have to try to get rid of the notion of time. And when you have an intense contact of love with nature or another human being, like a spark, then you understand that there is no time and that everything is eternal." Paulo Coelho
