Sky Fire

I looked up at the sky
waiting for the moment
when the sky would fall
and fire would rain down.
I stood in the same spot
feeling the breeze sweep by
and I waited patiently as
my heart pounded excitedly.
I waited to be a part of history
for a special moment of life
to become a spot of memory
and watch beauty appear.
I stared with a silly smile
as I grabbed your arm
and I pointed to the sky
to the stars above.
I laughed out loud
jumped for joy
and laid down on the grass
staring intently at falling fire.
I fell in love with the sky
that night in the country
just out of reach of the yard light
while watching the beauty of the universe.
