Fireworks
Bursting bright oh so high
Lighting up the midnight sky
A breeze takes the ashes away
Not to be seen until the next day
Babies whimper
Adults whisper
Red and gold
To behold
Craning our necks
To see the last specks
Of the dying blast
The rest it surpassed
A bright streak
Children shriek
A white flash
As people dash
A pop and a sizzle
As the rain starts to drizzle
No more light
Comes into the night
