Glitter of July
Anticipation of the sparkles in the sky,
Ignite my curiosity of what I will see.
Seeing the flame float in the darkness,
Then the fizzle begins my mind races.
Suddenly the sound displaces silence.
Streaking upward the flames extinguish.
Until the explosion begins overhead,
Glittering gustoes spread in firmament.
Stars burst in amazing colors delightfully.
Streaking in all directions in an expanse,
Fireworks are our neighborhood extravaganza.
They arrive in all types of vehicles to watch.
Hearing the oohs and ahs filling the surroundings,
This show of glitter delights and celebrates.
Our nation’s freedom and birth for another year,
Such close proximity is an honor and enchantment.
