there is peace in the darkness, an
alluring sense of acceptance in failure
closed eyes & open eyes both see the same
but please
stick out your hand
& light a sparkler with me. for a moment
let us revel in the spark of light
in your hand, in your control; as is mine
it is with our hope & fire that
we will light up the night & no firework
will hold a candle to our hope. let
this act of patriotism - dancing sparklers
through the dark midnight sky - show them all
that we deeply love our country
& that is why we are fighting so hard
to preserve the peace & justice promised to us
249 years ago
on this day.
light a sparkler with me & let the
light illuminate our faces: a trail of
mascara down your left cheek & a trail of
eyeliner down my right cheek, smudged
by tears of pain & worry laced with
joy & hope. in a world where fear is dominant
& expected of everyone, the most rebellious
thing that one can ever do is
hope
with a sparkler in their hand
creating their own light.
