Rosemary has us thinking "Fireworks" ~~ I'm thinking the Personal Brand of "shooting stars ~~ hearts going Pitter-pat!!!
New Year's Eve, 1984
Suddenly, the night turned technicolor
I saw you
a fuse lit somewhere deep inside
my world responding with fireworks
every spark in the sky
like electricity between us
no time to think ~ only the rush
that wild certainty something
rare had just begun
Years have folded over themselves
you are gone from this world
some loves never fade ~ they echo
like fireworks long after midnight
colors still drifting behind closed eyes
Oh, that's so beautiful – and full of the brightness, verve and joy that inspired it.
ReplyDeleteLucky to have had that moment of wild certainty. Doubly lucky when the spark lasts for more than awhile!
ReplyDeleteI love that the despite a terrible loss the fire and light is still inside..beautiful imagery and alive-ness - Jae
ReplyDeleteHelen, if this is all true I am sorry for the last, losing the Hub. The memories make up for a lot though.
ReplyDelete16 of us were on a mission in Hawaii. Did sightseeing with four rented Jeeps. I drove the red one. Liked your pink Mustang.
beautifully written!
