I couldnt help, but thank you. Heartily. By the way, as I have read the poem for first time, I misread these words. I visualized not the "embers" but the "ambers". That was an awe inspiring picture. However, when I noticed my mistake and my ambers transformed back into the "embers", the symbolism of that wonderful picture became just more tangible than it was prior-though a bit more international (the amber is one of Lithuanian symbols) Are we to fire small embers, or recognize ourselves in what's underfoot-under the leaves? We can either uncover the embers or cry about the fire... As it is said in the Bible, everything will end, but the love will remain, isn't it? Dear Helen,

Small embers hide
under fallen leaves,

That’s…that’s THAT !!!

Just click on the link http://candleday.wordpress.com/ Thank you Dear Helen,
