within this moment
an ember of fire
floats from the blazing branches
into gentle hands

12 Life Lessons The Golden Girls Taught Us
Picture it: Miami, 1985. Four middle-aged actresses agree to play the characters of Blanche, Rose, Dorothy, and Sophia who share a home in a TV sitcom called The Golden Girls, unaware at the time of the kind of impact the show would leave on its adoring fans. The show aired until 1992, ending with a one-season spinoff called Golden Palace. The seven years we were graced with The Golden Girls on our television screens made its mark. More than three decades after Susan Harris’ imagination sparked the creation of these iconic characters, fans from around the world still watch reruns of The Golden Girls, spend time discussing the show on social media in Facebook groups like The Golden Girls Fanatics, carry Sophia-inspired handbags and relate to the episodes in their daily lives.

“I will catch you when you fall”. Such a charming piece. The loving hands stretched forth to catch onto the leaf that is transforming into its next phase. You brought a caring feel to the image. Thank you for sharing!
The final line changed something ordinary into something beautiful.
Something about "into gentle hands" really moved me. Lovely haiku 🍁🍂
Beautiful. A moment literally caught.
