Fireworks
The vibrant
colours dance in the pitch black night sky. Bright yellow, cyan and lilac
flames synchronise perfectly as if it had all been planned beforehand. It was
like a choreographed dance on stage. Fancy lights explode dynamically with
accurate coordination. As the firework disperses beautifully, spectators clap
in response. Their pleasure was obvious. Childish, loud, playful children
cannot seem to wipe the smile off their faces and adults cannot stop chatting
as if they were discussing about the most important topics in the world.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! It sounds like planes dropping explosives. The deafening sounds attack
people who cover their ears with their hands. However, the mood is a festive
one. The cheer from the spectators is almost as loud as the fireworks. Children
are either crying or laughing, adults happily cheering, dogs barking – all of
which combine and create a chaotic and confusing environment; but a delight to
the senses.
The piercing
smell of smoke caused by the fireworks mixes disgustingly with the stench of
sweat. However, the fragrance of flowers and picnic food neutralises the stench.
The scent of the grass and the trees help people to feel relaxed and peaceful.
A gentle breeze brings a whiff of fresh night air which gently cools down the
spectators’ thoughts, relaxing their minds.
The humid
environment is getting everyone tired. The dampness of sweat makes it hard for
people to breathe. The flaming, firework brings the heat up until everyone
finds it almost unbearable. As time passes, it becomes a deeper night and
fortunately, there is a refreshing breeze which cools everyone down, making
their eyelids heavy.
The night is
as nectarous as a honeycomb. Everyone returns home with deliciously big smiles
on their faces.
