Fireworks

We burst forth into creation launched by a single desire, like fireworks shot forth into the sky. We formed paintings in space and time. Some of us launched forth, became part of a larger picture and returned, our purpose completed. Some went forth never having caught fire at all, leaving behind an incomplete picture and falling back to earth never knowing the spark of life, complete duds from beginning to end. Others burst forth strong and bright, fulfilling their role and still holding the spark of life upon their return. When returning to the ground their spark still burns and can grow even greater than it was ever intended.
