How beautiful would it be
to be a firework.
To tear through the sky
then explode into a million
sparks of colored light.
To rent the air
with broken silence
and darkness that is now aglow.
To be the bearer
of light that spreads
like fire on fabric.
***
But, the ultimate joy
of the glorious firework
is the smile it triggers
on the faces of
those who derive pleasure
from its vibrant glory.
