Counting the Starbursts

One, two, three. It's great to be alive, living in harmony.

I watch before me

A dazzling light-show

Sparks flying high and low

Magically delightful

I reach my hand to the night

Hoping to feel a spark

Ignoring my own conscious

As it whispers not to be foolish in the dark

I open my mouth

My tongue tasting the powder

The lovely melody so loud

But I just lay here...

Growing more fascinated by the hour.

My heart pounding in my chest

Imagining myself flying freely 

Pushing aside all of life's stress.

I almost cannot stop myself

From having an overreaction

The fantastic light are calling to me now

I want to join them with burning passion

The world around me

Realizing that I'm running out of time

I start counting my starbursts

The booming ringing like a chime

And I'm about to satisfy its thirst.

Life, itself, is gone

So it seems 

Not a soul to reach

I'm not safe until dawn

For the power of their instruments

Controlling me with its charm

Barely anything left of my resistance

As I'm left alone to be fed by its swarm.

Wow, what a great way to start your day. This poem has been great. The wordings and rhyming fitted perfectly and it creates an imagery as vivid as a picture that made it more fun to read. You did a real nice job and am glad for you. Really, imagination is a spark that you have to fuel to create such lovely words to turn into an art. Great job here.
