Fireworks by Wellesley via Giphy.com

Burst Forth

Watching the skies ablaze,

as fireworks burst forth,

I'm reminded of the pollen,

released by plant pods burst.

Reminded of the Big Bang,

from whence all has come.

Black holes swallowing continuously,

a battle as yet to be won.

Of geysers spurting forth,

superheated water and steam.

Transforming the landscape around,

trickling a multicolored stream.

Volcanoes blowing their tops off,

with racing pyroclastic flow.

Overcoming all that's in its way,

even those far beyond and below.

The mighty whale takes a breath,

holds it into the deep for very long.

Surfacing lets out a mighty blow,

saving enough to sing its song.

Even when I let go a sneeze,

my whole world seems to stop.

Mighty blast through my nostrils passed,

leaves my sinuses without a drop.

And when those intestinal gases,

gather in massive amount,

it only takes a little persuasion,

for it to come bursting out.
