Starlight, sky bright, fire in the air

Last night (although I have to admit that time plays many tricks on me these days), I went to see the annual fireworks in my town.  Braving the crowds and waiting hours ahead of schedule, I was joined by probably everyone between the ages of 16 to 30, which was an interesting enough thing because it gave me some ideas for a story, but otherwise my interest in fireworks has waxed and waned over the years (having had enough of them at the many, many times I went to see them in the glorious displays in Coney Island Summer).

They were still nice, though, but I think that melancholy has started to seep into too much when I see these sorts of things.

Night falls and it will soon begin.

The sky is alive, it is brilliant, it is now, it is always.

there are stars but they are not stars
