Fourth of July

Tonight I look up into the night sky, eyes wide open
As I search in awe and wonder, listening to its gentle whisper
Kissing and carressing my frail ear, massaging my eyes;
I look up into the night sky in search for the moment.

I wait and wait in the cold, still darkness - still for me
As time stands still while for everyone a moment doesn't exist.
I wait and look forward into the river of life - and love,
In search for the greatest of beauty and blossoms in my eyes.

I look up into the night sky, seeing for the first time
A spark flying high into the darkness - and she stands there,
As beautiful and shiny as the most beloved of stars -
As wonderful and cherished as the sweetest of hearts.

She brings light into my eyes, shining brightly beside the darkness,
She is the only shine in my eyes, the one that brings this smile
As I feel the river myst freshen my face - as the flare
Burns within my heart and burns through, intending to reach for her.

I stare into the beautiful shine, almost blinded by her beauty;
The fireworks have begun and the celebration must commence
As I smile as brightly as the shine in her eyes, the explosion shines before me -
So close in sight - yet, so far, far away.
