Let’s resurrect the fireworks
pretend we’re young again
we laugh to hide the sorrow
the ludicrousness of it all
reliability applicable only
to sentiments, little else
post surgeries, chronic
illness and radiation’s turn
fireworks are for the young,
we agree returning to our screens.
(We’ll blame this poem on the prompts of the day: Fandango’s: fireworks, Ragtag Communities: resurrect, and Daily Addictions: reliable.)
In Greek mythology, Cassandra was a cursed prophetess. She was gifted with prophecy but the curse ensured her predictions would never be believed. Not that it stopped her from speaking out. It behoves all of us to speak out about what is wrong but also about what is right. We can do that in our creativity whether it be prose, poetry or painting. What matters is the message.

She made broken look beautiful and strong look invincible. She walked with the Universe on her shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings ...
I can relate…. but I still want to chase the fireworks. Thanks for participating in Daily Addictions.
