Bright Explosion in the sky
A light that burned my eyes
Made me come alive
I thought I'd seen a sign
I prayed that I was right
As tears filled my eyes
Blurred the scene
Now a sun inside me burns
Bleaching all my bones
And the rising smoke
Will carry me away
To another place
I never lost my faith.
Just my way.
I exploded into life that day.
I'll never look back.
No one can take these feelings away.
I'll never go back.

Couldn't express how I feel today in words I was happy with, so used someone else's. Normal service will be resumed a.s.a.p...

Beautiful words, Mr Noyce. And if this is to become a site dedicated to sharing our favourite poetry, how about this from WB Yeats?
Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light,
I would spread the cloths under your feet:
But I, being poor, have only my dreams;
I have spread my dreams under your feet;
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
Thanks mysterious one.
Just remember viewers, that using somebody else's poetry to express how you feel is a very subtle art...
Sometimes it's easier to use the words that someone has been brave nough to put out there for all to see when your own words seem feeble and not adequate enough to sum up a particular moment. By all means quote song lyrics (i know more of them than I do poems), prose, poetry if that helps with the life of this blog...
NB: However, those resorting to using limericks will have a strong letter sent home to their parents.
