Watching the fireworks dance in the sky the other night
words were dancing in my head
Happy bday America!
Potato salad watermelon
bright sparks ripping the still sky to smoke
.
Anything is possible
what a miracle life can be
laughter and lawnchairs
there is only now
.
Young boys shuffle their feet
running. skidding. leaving marks on the street
explosions of light
sonic booms
war is that you?
just a war zone of color
just a nation of neighbors
waving flags red white and blue
.
Crisp air, solid ground.
fire in ice
fire is nice
.
Were not running out of time.
wake up youth
beauty transpires
.
Light the fuse
take a chance
it will all be over tomorrow
lets dance!
.
barbecues in backyards
take the day off
if you want to sing out, sing out!
.
freedom?
let it rattle
let it ring
let it launch
into the sky like hope
rain down on us like pearls
.
Ashes to ashes
dust to dust
.
Give life a chance
let it rise boom and flash
like the rest of this stuff
.

Hi You-were-born-to-write!
Great post. Please keep writing and loving. Can't wait til you make some sort of trip to the East Coast! And hey, how is that dance vid coming along? :) Brooke
I really just have one thought.
I love reading your blog.
