The Explosive Release

Luke Harley

I have been stuck
in this tiny box
waiting for my moment...

Once a year among a cheer,
I finally get released.
I jump in joy
into the night sky
as my cage has burnt away

I see the land around me
all of the stars only emphasis
the beauty of the night,
the hills soaked with moonlight miles away.

As I fall back down,
I am happy for others
who will stare at this sight with awe.
