Independence Day

Knowing you was the Fourth of July

A little red, white and blue lightning in the sky

I watched but never listened

Hope they’d grant a wish and

You might be mine…

Till all left is the moon 

And my ears crack with the boom

Of destiny come to slap me in my mind,

Distance finally calculated 

Pain that’s unanticipated 

Now I know that there’s a steady reason why…

Again I stare out a window past my bedtime

Catching stolen glances at a skyline

CPR on memories in the night,

I wish a tear could bottle up your smiles as a sparkler in my hand

For when I need a little light. 

But I hope you’re happy and free.

Crash, 

And the glass fell.

Chips of blinding white

Where I thought the light was,

Distance where I thought the horizon was,

Half a shattered mural still intact 

With shards of painted stars I used to wish upon.

Was the sky there all along?
