November Picture Prompt: Fireworks

Fizzing round my mind,

morphing, transforming.

Questions

burst in multi-hued splendour.

Exploding,

cacophonous in my brain.

Words

tumble forth

no order or coherence

leaps of logic leaving all in their wake

can’t hold them in

too bright, too colourful.

Oohs and aahs surround me as

wide eyes meet mine.

Wonder or fear?

And still they tumble forth

pouring over my lips

in endless streams

shooting into the sky.

Powerless to stop them,

while others gasp at their brilliance

I stop

and sigh.

They are released and

I am free.

Calm descends.
