FIREWORKS SHOOTING TO THE SKY,
EXPLODING, BURSTING, COLORFUL,
HIGH IN THE SKY.
BOOM, BOOM, THEY GO OFF!
EXPLOSIONS EVERYWHERE.
SPARKS MAKING THEIR WAY
DOWN TO THE EARTH.
AND THE PEOPLE WATCHING...
AND SEEING THE FIREWORKS FADE
AND END
TO THE LEFT AND TO THE RIGHT.
THE SHOW HAS CONCLUDED.
THE DARKNESS HAS RETURNED.
I SEE A BUTTERFLY
IN THE DISTANCE,
FLYING, FLAPPING ITS WINGS
UP AND DOWN,
FLAPPING OVER AND OVER AGAIN.
AND THEN IT CALMS DOWN
AND SETS ITSELF WITH THE WINGS
SLOWLY COMING TO AN END
WITH THE FLAPPING.
AND THE GONG OF THE BELL
RINGING,
THE BUTTERFLY AWAKENING
AND FLYING ONCE AGAIN,
FLAPPING ITS WINGS.
AND THE PITCHER WARMS UP,
LOOKS FOR THE CALL HE WANTS,
GETS THE CALL FROM THE CATCHER.
AND THE SUN BEHIND THE PITCHER
BEAMING ITS RAYS ON THE FIELD.
AND THE PITCHER WINDS UP
AND LETS THE BALL RIP.
THE BALL'S HIT HIGH IN THE SKY
AS THE PITCHER FOLLOWS
THE TRAJECTORY OF THE BALL.
THE EARTH...
A FORCE EVER TURNING.
AND WE SEE THE FLOWERS,
WHOSE SWEET AROMA SPRINGS FORTH.
AND THE BLOOMS
FROM THE FLOWERS GROW,
BUT EVENTUALLY THEY LOSE
THEIR LIFE.
AND THEY FALL BACK
TO THE EARTH...
WHETHER IT'S THE FLOWER
OR MYSELF.
ENTITLED...
RIDING ALONG
ON A HORSE AND CARRIAGE,
I STOP THE HORSES AND LOOK OUT.
CALLED...
ENTITLED...
EXPLODING, BURSTING, COLORFUL,
HIGH IN THE SKY.
