Candle Flickers

The candle flickers in front of me A mesmerizing flame to watch Sometimes moving, sometimes still As life can be so busy, then so quiet Sometimes we flicker, sometimes we stop To notice the simple things Maybe the rhythm of our breath Time is what we make of it To shine, to give, to move, to be still --- To be who we are --- Heidi Sands 9/29/17
