FALL, WHEN LEAVES FALL FROM THE TREE, when what is bright fades, can be a hopeless time. The art of Roy Lichtenstein always reminds me that the brightness we see on the outside may hide a shadow growing within. The shadows now grow longer. The heat of August leaves us. Some struggle to find a fire within. How easy it would be to give up. Life throws up many illusions.
WHAT WE HOLD on to can bring us down. What brings us down we sometimes think so well deserved. So we fall within the inner sea, landlocked and lost, the cry within unheard but endless echoing. The sea within would seduce hero or heroine. Give in now to what you can’t escape.
NATURE OFFERS ENDLESS METAPHORS By a sullen sea where hope might drown, the last leaf falls from the tree. The last leaf lies crisp on ground brown. Dry leaves blow on winter wind under a sky grim and gray. But somewhere a seed of the tree unknowing is green with hope.

Some struggle to find a fire within. How easy it would be to give up.
The fire is there for all, as is the choice.

About that picture, many people in the world always falls like that and think the same "there's no hope" but the sad thing is that is truth, there's no hope in this world.
