A Mesmerizing Sight

To the peace displayed high in the night sky
unlike the boisterous crowd below.
Excitement spreads throughout the beach
with pops of laughter and echoes of delight.

I stand among the cheerful crowd in silent anticipation
to gaze up into the vast sky.
All at once, colors burst as they are released into the dark,
illuminating the faces of the amazed crowd.

The sky becomes the noisy crowd,
the crowd becomes the silent sky.
Each individual burst can be felt as it thunders.
The colors turn into a hypnotic swirl.

Each burst captures my full attention.
Takes my breath away
as the colors fizzle out and fade,
until everything suddenly ceases.

The sky becomes peaceful once
more.
