Sparks Will Fly

SPARKS WILL FLY

 

They rise with the heat of their source

Upward they glow traveling their course

Like offspring of the flames they fly away

Born in the fire but unable to stay

 

Embers like opportunities missed out

Or hesitancy fueled by intense doubt

And choices made in rash thought

That rise to unfortunate lessons taught

 

The very nature of it determines its lot

Filled with drama like a movie plot

But rising quickly then out of sight

So too the passing of our earthly flight

 

You can mark it down and call it so

As the sparks fly upward it shall go

Trouble will sometimes come your way

But never, ever, does it come to stay
