Let the Fireworks Sound

You know, in all my life I’ve never seen any fireworks in person, until this year that is. They’ve always looked fine on the television and I’ve heard them popping far away like a distant gunfight,
but it really cannot compare to actually being there …

With the stench of gunpowder in the air
Hearing the launchings clatter through the soft placid night
Seeing the lights dazzling and dancing between the stars
Blazing trails of gold and glitter and
.. the big brown cloud of stardust left after, staining the sky,
waiting for us to breathe it all back in

I never realised just how magical fireworks are before last night.
How perfect a celebration.

Well here we are. Another year, and we're still here.
Huzzah!!!
Let the fireworks sound.
