Sparklers

I was sitting on a bench

In the center of my state

The sun burned  bright

And hard

Making me squint my eyes

But I still tried my best

To look at you

The conversation was good

As most were with you

But a part of me just

Wants to remember what exactly

We were talking about

but I do remember 
You told me

There were these moments

In life

That were bigger

Brighter moments

The light that can bring you though

The darkness of life

But I didn’t believe you

And later I would sit

Contemplating my life

Trying to find those moments

That might bring me out

Of the darkness
