Under the big dark blue sheet
with several white spots,
Camera in hands
and mind full of thoughts;
Between these spots
I was in search of a line,
and wanted it in my camera
as a memory of mine;
But they were more smarter
and faster than me,
even faster than sense
of getting free;
But at last there
was no loss for me,
it was just a new leaf
on my knowledge tree;
we often stood beside our friend
to check who is tall,
but often forgot that in the sight of
universe we are too small.
Firestones tease wealth;
in heat
in prosperity
in wonder.
Extend your grasp
Wound your infinity lines
And steal its riches for yourself.
hearts loves firestones
colliding, exploding sparks
universe alive

Song “Firestone” by Kygo and sung by Conrad Sewell
Dated 2/9/19
Placed 5th with thanks
The speedometer busted sixty, motor screaming r r r s,
Smoked his firestones weavin’ and passin’ cars!
He slammed third dumped the clutch and headed north,
At a hundred five, he hit the highway and found fourth…
The smell of burning rubber filled the cab,
He pressed pedal to the metal for all she had!
Turbo screamed, the engine roared!
G,s pressed him to the back seat board,
He couldn't go on,
His strength was gone!
His muscles stretched and ached,
How much more could he take!?
His only fan totally enthralled
Gears grinding,..engine stalled
He couldn't help it...his eyelids dropped like lead!
Dad hugged him out of his Big Wheels and said,
”Wild Man Willy, my son..it’s time for bed. “…
