Sparkle

The trees in the park

wrapped in white and blue

and strands of lights

dripped off branches.

The hour clicked 

closer to midnight

and no one wandered

beneath their twinkling spotlights.

The quiet of the flicker

caught upon my lips

and I daydreamed

to wrap their glow

around my fingertips.

I painted the sky

and shared their sparkle

with the stars.
