"Ticks of Light?"    "Flecks of light?"     "specks of light?"      "points of light?"     

I like "points of light" the best of these options.

Just a thought but maybe.

oldbutyet--I hadn't thought of trying any two-syllable words, but I tried it out and I can make it work. So one more to add to the experimental list.

It'll probably be at least two more days before I get this done enough to load up to WIP. It'll take that long to choose which word to use.... ;D

Or. . . "Little flickers of light, sparkling in the night"   (Doesn't change the cadence.)

Hmm, that would work if I sing the word "of" across two notes--make it two syllables using melisma. That's do-able. Another variation to try.

I'd say, maybe don't look for this song in WIP until possibly the weekend.  ;D

Little flickers won't work because of where the strong beats fall. You'll know what I mean when I get it recorded and posted. Which I hope is in the next couple days.
