First you march through fields--
Green, but choked with weeds.
Until one day chance drops the Bomb
And the world explodes before your eyes.

Like this, the fire lily in spring,
Pyrotechnics bursting forth from...

Thunder pounded the skies with might,
Lightening, God’s pyrotechnics were in play,

Sparks of golden quarks
Amazing particles of heart
Pyrotechnic shower
Too fine 
Almost from cloud nine

He Forgave Me and Gave Me
Forget-Me-Nots
Presented In A Posy
Tied With A Bow and Knots

Forget-Me-Nots
Plucked Fast From...

rumbling atmospheric thuds,
promised natural exultant
sound and light show

lively,lovely,many-hued restless
gossamer,abysm of time in...
