Reflection

I feel a sudden change in the season 
a breeze sweeps under my feet 
and i feel less beaten 

All the candles lit up in the street 
shine ever so brightly
they never think to take a night off 
but dazzle and make us week 

A sense of direction 
takes me by the hand
lifts me out from despair
and I see my reflection

I glare at the beauty of creation 
deciding to disrespect fear and limitation
