I Look Into the Night Sky

I look into the night sky

Seeing colors everywhere.

The loud sounds make my dog cry

Smells and sounds fill the night  air.

 



Seeing colors everywhere

My heart jumps for all this joy.

Smells and sounds fill the night air

Each year just like a new toy.

 



My heart jumps for all this joy

The loud sounds make my dog cry.

Each year just like a new toy

I look into the night sky.

I think it strange how loud fireworks are, looking so beautiful but causing dirt in dogs and veterans with PTSD. Your metaphoric write delights me.
