Gone, but never forgotten...
The moon was high and so was he
He got behind the wheel
He got behind the wheel
He swerved to miss their SUV
He never meant to kill...
But it was not to be
Too soon came a family's end
Too soon came a family's end
The lost souls arose
To usher them away
Later, one year to the day
Breaking through with something to say
But how to communicate?
They had the power to illuminate...
The notion came to write with light
To family and friends
A message of love they sent
A message of love they sent
Afterwards, their energy was spent
So their spirit guide from the other side
She came to take them home
Again they were gone,
But never forgotten...
I love the way that you have used the dark background of the night with the sparklers and lights as a way to show the omniscient feeling that your poem/story is trying to tell. The use of bright lights exemplifies the fact that for an image or idea to be scary or raise your hair, it does not always have to be dark and dreary. Many times we are most perplexed about the unexplained lights or images from lights that we see daily. The image of the clouds is great! They are mysterious and say something powerful at the same time.
