Bright and shiny

I have always adored fireworks and I remember the first year I attended Vancouver’s “Celebration of Lights” I went alone amidst the masses and loved it. I have never heard of fireworks being coordinated with music and although the barges are coordinated with machines, someone designed the chemical perfection to make the sky sparkle and shine. The thing I like most about fireworks is the fact that they take explosives, mostly used to the detriment of other people, and they are made beautiful. It’s frivolous and silly but it transforms a force for destruction into art. What a stunning metamorphosis.
