FIREWORKS A summer night and fireworks break dark’s quiet whisper, drowning fragile moonlight. First a flickering, then a blossoming of color-- wild and illicit –and the air’s askew with booms, delirious with fiery chaos as a million man-made stars tumble across sky. A veil of smoke creates a glorious illusion -- the art of pyrotechnics. A stolen moment’s exaltation without the wariness of danger. As fire jewels dwindle to obscurity, there is a strong spell of reversal. What seemed like revelation fades. Universe returns to mystery and mind to world’s reality.
