“JULY SKIES”

By: Kaleb G. Berry

 

I heard the fireworks sparks as July hits.

Right now, I am only happy to be alive.

Holding this photo only makes me wish I was holding you in my arms.

The window showed rainbows of color, and the smoke from it reminded me of the taste of bbq.

I was confused about how I could not enjoy this flavor of life, even though I was with flu.

Soon, time went by and the light show came to an end.

Depleted with doubt; I started to cry.

Why I am I dripping these tears for?

I started to think that happiness came once every year, just like this grand holiday.

I cleared my face and decided to head outside to light my own spark of hope.

I took the hidden match from under my dresser and the M-80 from my closet.

I completely knew what I was getting into.

The dizziness from my body, made me miss the first stroke at the match box.

The eagerness made me realized I was not even outside; laughing as I stepped into the mystic night.

When I laughed I knew that joy already came.

Without hesitation, I lit firework.

The heat of the match scorched my hand.

The flame brightness highlighted the entire yard, almost making the people in their houses believe that the sun is about to rise.

I handled the small torch with distinct care as I set action to the dynamite.

The string attached burned quietly as I counted the counted the seconds till blast off.

Ending on the last count, a wave of red swarmed over the sky.

My head spun from sickness, and the wind chilled my body.

I did not care if I died today; all I cared was being able to enjoy this fantasy, this happiness that only comes once a year.

With a gigantic grin on my face and tears in my eyes, the only word I could say came to my head.

Beautiful.

We all need to hold onto beauty!
There is hope whilst we do so, without that, we become swamped!

Something can excite the soul. Fireworks seem to open the eye and the spirit to hope and great power. I like the feel and emotion in this poem. I like the ending. A excellent poem. Thank you.
