Such Beauty
Why did I walk at dusk I thought
What could there be to see
Just step by step I walk
When a great thing happened
Neon explodes on the horizon
Orange, blue, and a dark red
Brighter than fireworks, I am in awe
But now the grass is moving towards invisible sun
And the darkness quickly swallows the beauty
In a silent shock, I feel so sad
Why did the beauty go
Suddenly another explosion comes
Although not as fierce
almost muffled
I look up at the darkness
And see a beauty unfold like carpet
Infinite light, across a sea of stars
Never have I wanted to fly so much in my life
Just at the chance to touch one
I can’t contain my admiration
I jump and reach as far as I can
And soon I am with the dark again
Only to arise to another stunning horizon
Such beauty, it's amazing
