Today’s Prompt: Mark Helprin: “It was a mad and beautiful thing … “
Exquisite
That summer was one of
Surprises
Change
Love
and…
Loss
When I think of those
hot summer nights
and even hotter days
the only word that
comes to mind is
Fireworks!
We met and started
out white-hot as a
bottle rocket
Continued to flame
and blaze through
day after day seeing
fireworks in everything
at every turn …
from wild and crazy
lightning storms risking
everything to get just
the right picture as
a single streak
connecting with
the ground
Celebrating the
4th of July at
the city parks
fireworks show
once again risking
it all to get just the
right exposure of
fireworks in the sky
All in all that summer
as Helprin so perfectly said:
“It was a mad and beautiful thing … “
Looking back to those memories
Remembering the fireworks not
only in the sky, but in our hearts
We could have had it all
But for one thing …
Commitment
