Phantasmagoric lights
Streak the soft pastel sky
In a bright, sudden, beautiful flash
But only for a moment

The fireworks of the gods
Strike the world's chords
As the hand of time
Quivers in retrograde

Reflections of the earth
Memories of the world
Society's great and terrible deeds
Revisited once again

But only for a moment.
