The spark from Sprinklers
Showers of stars
Falling down my fingers
Landing on the ground
To extinguish like the passing of millenia 

For even as light triumphs
Darkness waits
For when the time light is extinguished
And Sparklers run out
Stars hitting the ground

  3. I remember being surprised as a kid that the sparks didn’t hurt as they touched my skin. The laws of “life, the universe, and everything” say the light will never be extinguished. There will always be more sparklers/stars to shine.
