Fireworks and Bonfires

For the past week or so the evenings in London have been punctuated by the random explosion of fireworks. Yesterday was Guy Fawkes Night here. A long-standing tradition that will never die in the UK. Read more info here as I don't have time to explain further, but it's very interesting - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawkes_Night

Here is something to capture the spirit of the night and the spirit of true love.


Fireworks and Bonfires

The night was black before the bang
Then out it rang
And my world would never be the same again

Whistling, crackling, popping light
The sky was bright
Shall we no time forth forget that night

As the hours, the days, the years pass by
I realise
That these fireworks, this bonfire could never be denied

For they mark the moment our lives changed
And history's page
Will re-tell that moment for an age

As if Guy Fawkes carried cupid's bow
I'll always know
This bonfire will never lose it's glow
