When dark is all we see ahead, then one
small beam of light can shed a ray of hope
to lead us on, to lift our mood,
till we can say 'Dull care, be gone!'

Light in our darkness?
Some people manage to always see the negative side of life...A picture on The Mag #108 by Uzengia Aleksander Nedic lead me to do just that, and this detail took on a new significance...

Yes, for whatever that had needled us, discard them. We are all the richer in experience and start anew. I'd agree to that!

Wise and neatly tied.
ReplyDeleteI like what you did to the photo. An eerie effect. My late Magpie is Lifesaver.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit. To answer your question: In addition to people who save lives, Lifesavers are known as the Candy with the Hole. It's an old joke from a time when I guess the candy was more popular.
DeleteAh! In UK, 'THE MINT (or fruit flavoured sweet) WITH THE HOLE' is called a 'POLO' - a 'life saver' would be a life jacket, or a more likely, a lifebuoy! So much for a common language, again! :)
DeleteI'm in Canada, so we're close enough that I'm at least familiar with THE MINT, although you can only buy them here in specialty shops. Strange, though, that you don't get any Lifesavers all in the UK; I found them in New Zealand and in some odd flavours indeed, like Violet and Musk.
