Hundreds of glowing lanterns
Light up the night like stars
Blazing a trail across the sky
A vision of hope in the dark

This may be short, but I can picture the scene completely. Leaves my mind to wander on it’s own… such a magical moment.

Thanks, Michelle! Sometimes short works better (not haiku) for trying to convey a message 🙂

Oh, this is such a beautiful piece. Loved your comparison and the photo is really great! We sent these off as a kid. Looking back and at the commerical they show on TV the thought now runs through my head – Man, that’s a real fire hazard. LOL! Time changes us, doesn’t it?

Ha! You are too funny, but right I guess. That was kind of like a Sheldon comment on Big Bang! Sorry! They are romantic and I told you I sent some off as a kid too. See what being an old geezer does! Makes you think about the consequences. Good thing we didn’t do that when we were younger! LOL!
