Day 362 - Night of Splendor

There was a great boom and the tune we know so well
It holds thousands of midnight kisses and even more stories to tell
The light that was raining down upon the world where we stand
Inspired a hundred dreams as I held your hand
And we danced in the streets singing all the songs we knew
The glee was blatant and honest, no other experience was ever so true
We stayed up late into the night wandering when day would begin
Surrounded by friends just as close as our kin
We pondered at the stars like fireworks stuck in the sky
The collective genius of all the world made us together, sigh
Some things can only be expressed in the miracle of breath
The moving and filling, that keeps us far from death
There was a great boom and the tune we know so well
It holds thousands of midnight kisses and even more stories to tell

Day 325 - My Flame,Thursday


You lit up my life and warmed me through
With all those brilliant things that you do.
The way your hair falls across my face,
The way your heart beats in my embrace.

We watched the flames from my rug
Together bundled up, you and I, so snug
Its leaping reminded me of your dance
That sparked up a whirlwind of romance.

Will we last after the morning breaks?
I cannot say. Shall we raise the stakes?
With one more smirk on that fiery grin,
Again you make my whole world spin...

One night, that was all I meant this to be.
But now I am beginning to see
You are more than just my flame tonight
You seem to be my heart's delight.

Day 182 - Blue Lion

Across the sky comes a new light
A lion of brilliant blue so proud
One of extraordinary might
And a roar a thousand screams loud
That booms across the great plain
As the lion shakes his electric main

Below his pride runs in arches
Of light that sparkle and ignite
Led by lionesses it marches
Onward forever into the fight
That trees surround in mystery
Creating for excited cubs new history

The cubs you see look on excited
At all they will one day grow up to be
The passionate fire in their soul ignited
Glowing bright for all below to see
These lions live in the heavens and stars
As far away on most days as Mars

Yet on some nights they visit again
Their stories are told by many across earth
Originally across China's vast plain
Was the tale of their cycling rebirth
Started with a fuse from down below
Stars from up above join the show

They zoom and boom, roars reaching out
To touch the souls of children delighted
Who dance and laugh, and gleefully shout
Especially when the king is sighted
For he only exists all other days in their heads
When they dream up wonders, tucked snug in beds
