Candle Flame Dance

The flame dances on a breeze; Candlelight dances on the walls. Amazing shadows will be seen; Wherever those flames may fall. Such magical creatures are candle flames; Mesmerizing beings. Up there on my Mantle, The dancers play out scenes. They dance to their own stories; Amazing mysteries. No choreographers paint such glories; The flames, quite creative, be. Candle flame or burning fire; They never fail to inspire.

Nothing like the magic of candle flames dancing to touch the soul... Btw, the Jewish Sabbath starts with the (woman of the house ) lighting of (minimally) two separate flames, Sabbath candles, and ends with the lighting of the Havdolo/Separation candle, composed of two wicks twisted together, producing a spectacular flickering flame. Peace and joy, gw

This went straight to my FAV list. It would take me too long to tell you why I love it. I love every single WORD and the way they are dancing and prancing together too! Breeze, shadow, mezmerizing, dancing. I love these words! Choreographer! I love that one also.

When I watch them, they seem to have a playful, dancing personality; as if they are performing. Nothing soothes as much as a candle. Thanks again.
