Fireworks

Fireworks dance across the sky
Bright bursts of light
Falling
Falling
Never touching ground
Your outstretched hands try
To hold on to them
Hoping to steal them from the wind
Memories are like this
The memories of tonight
Are like this
Slipping through your fingers
Always just out of reach
Nothing stays sharp in this world
Every edge gets soft
Even this memory
This night
These fireworks
So brilliant
Shining in this sky
