Fire and Flash

Fire and Flash

If you’ll throw
A blanket on the ground
And lay back in the night
The entire Milky Way
Will blaze and sparkle
For you.

It’ll dance and shimmer
On a scale so massive
You’ll go a full sixty seconds
Forgetting to breathe.

Look around.

The dewy grass
Begins to twinkle
In bright
Phosphorescence
As fireflies burst
In golden splashes
Of light
Challenging the sky
To a duel of color.

Stars in the sky
And flashes in the grass
Beg a response to their
Dazzle.

It’s then you realize
Your heart is on fire
And you answer creation
By your own
Ruddy blush.

There is a remedy
In night skies
Fiery grasses
And heart glow.

It’s blazing all around.
