Rhythm and Booms!
by Lec Rebudiao

Look in the horizon...
the sky ablaze in red
  yelllow, green,
blue, orange, crimson...
  all the colors
you can imagine.
Now there's a flower
then there's a bear...
Oh! look up in the sky.
Fireworks dancing
celebrating life
  and freedom.
  Fire dancing
in tune to the music
      of life.
