the nighttime sky is
as clear as the truth;
stars wink down at me
and i grin. feeling
like a child once
more, i wink right back.
soon, it will be time
for july's thunder.
looking into the
sky, feeling the touch
of a cooling summer
breeze on my sunburned
face, i thank God i
am here, right now, and
i wait to see and
hear july's thunder.
the sky overhead
suddenly explodes
in vivid color;
fireworks bloom in
colorful displays;
the resulting booms
tremble 'cross the ground:
it's july's thunder.
patriotism
and sudden joy is
released; i rise to
my feet, screaming in
my excitement; you
see...the thunder reached
my soul...i've been touched
by july's thunder.
------------------------------------------------------------------
and i hope y'all had a safe, happy fourth of july, full of fun, family,
friends, and fireworks! :)
This THUNDER
just
blew
my mind.
I loved it!
Hope your 4th
was wonderful.
best wishes always
