Sparkler
A Poem
New Year’s Eve out on the lawn
I’m dancing ‘round
I got my sparkler drawn
writing names in the night
Setting everything alight
got my sparkler drawn
Early morning grey-lit dawn
barefoot with my nightgown on
I got my sparkler drawn
Goin’ to the grocery store
Smilin’ at everybody for
I got my sparkler drawn
Fizzin’ up, I’m spreading it
Pouring from my fingertips
cuz I know this world is lit
With every step, every meet
I wouldn’t feel complete
without my sparkler drawn
Dressed up, Step into the van
Nothin that feels better than
my sparkler drawn
Looking past the footlight’s glow
sharing everything I know
got my sparkler drawn
Show’s over I get a drink
See that smile you transmit
right there then I see you wink
You got your sparkler drawn
while you’re dancin’ on
We got our sparklers drawn
Droppin’ off to sleep, I yawn
in my dreams, I carry on
I got my sparkler drawn
Gonna keep on throwing light
deep into the heart of night
with my sparkler drawn
