Twinkling fireworks on a warm summer night I’m enthralled by the starkness of radiance, The thunderous boom and magical shine. And yet they flee I watch them falter and fall, Quietly acknowledging the sentiment
They banned us from building more castles in the sky,, so we made forts in the basement instead Clanked our glasses for freedom and self- determination Embracing our glorious reign
Pencil drawn blueprints, methodically planned Smudged lines of dreamlike destiny We would have made it too. Had we not carelessly lent them to fate
The blackness of the sky made them perish Glittering ashes settled at my feet Nothing but a smokey shadow marked our sweet juvenescence The stars and the moon unscathed It really was a fantastic show.
