You As a Tree of Life

Maybe you ignore it.

You as a Tree of Life radiate sparks; 
successive generations of offshoots.
Offshoots of the second, third... generation. 

Sparks of your own greatness 
enlighten successive generations.

Afterwards the primal tree burns and self-destructs
but that beneficial destruction
spreads and radiates over all of them,
sparks alike golden fireworks from heaven.
