Sparks



Little stars dot
The sky
Like sparks that pop
Thrown onto
Dewy grass
They only glow
For a minute
And then fizzle

As we dance 
Around our bonfire
Spinning twirling
Whirling
Through a
Heavy darkness
As if we were 
Planets 
Dancing
Around a faraway
Spark of life

Hey, some of these aren't that great but what the heck. I just like writing how I feel in the moment so some of my poems might be confusing because I was confused in that moment. Maybe thats why I wanted to write a poem, to sort out my thoughts. Anyway, just read them and hopefully just one of them will bring you some kind of joy, or make you feel some kind of connection. Peace.>>>I also do star photography - probably why space works its way into a lot of my writing. http://mcb-photography.blogspot.com/ more…
