Two combustible materials combined and kindled
Casting a sparkling statement in this pacific airspace.
An ambitiously ignited sequence of aerial affection
Set to a masterful mix of flashy, melodic romance.
Every new colour; each intricate pyrotechnic pattern
Unveiled ourselves in an amazing arrangement of light.

Eyes widening, souls sighing at each moonlit note
Higher, brighter, bolder still...
Is it real? Or a trick of the senses?
I wish upon them -- that they may trick me forever.
Yet, with a distinctly final display of fiery design,
The splendid spectacle comes to a close.

Standing still, afraid to move, I hope for one more glow.
Pulsating pupils pressed to the night sky,
I see the ashen tracings begin to shift their shapes...
They float softly away, mingling particles as they go.
A display recognizable now only in memory,
This body will buzz and burn with it's energy
For time unknown...

We were that fireworks show
Above expectation
Soul-shocking
Far beyond light or sound
And over much too soon.
