Huddled together under thick blankets
scarfs wrap tightly around our necks
mittens disguise our hands.

Everything is set up and perfect,
we've been planning this for a long while now.
Someone lights a match
and suddenly we are all holding our breaths.

*BANG!*

Color sparkles across the navy winter sky
the bright red and blue reflect off the freshly-fallen snow.
A quiet, monotonous winter scene explodes in a light show.

We still can't breathe as our dreams become reality.
We never want the magic to end
