Climax of the night I In this hazy night Hearts filled with delight, All, await like children For lights so bright. II When you see, Amid a black sky The colors of a rainbow So brilliant, And you hear thunder With no lighting to fallow No rain to fall. When you see, How an explosion Unfolds into blooming flowers, Butterflies Of pink, purple, blue, Green, Gold, Red and white, Sparkling high above. And they seem so close to touch: As you stand feeling Showers of light Falling on you. Living behind A trace of smoke. When you hear, The laughter of children and grown-ups The sounds of ahhh….ohhhh Sighs of pleasure. And suddenly! At 10 PM for a split second There's the light of midday Followed by cheers and clapping, Then you know, Another 4th of July culminated. |
