Sparklers in the Sky

Gwenneth Chang

Close your eyes 

An’ look around…

There is infinite space 

And an infinite amount of time.

Filled from corner-to-corner with black darkness.

However, not the black that scares one

The black that comforts and lulls one to sleep.

Some occasions, 

Like fireworks in the sky

Or sparklers you set off 

On the Fourth of July.

Some colors may visit the darkness

They build patterns an’ have

Variety of sharpness.

Some will last while others fade

Take your time around.

For it will always be there when you

Close your eyes.
