...."Fire's Reflection"....

                                               -Fire's Reflection-

              "Perhaps it's no more than the fire's reflection on some piece of gleaming furniture that the child remembers so much later like a revelation.

           And if in his later life, one day wounds him like so many others, it's because he mistook some risk or other for a promise.
 
       Let's not forget the music, either, that soon had hauled him toward absence complicated by an overflowing heart..."

                                                                     ~Rainer Maria Rilke~
