Echoes of Liberty: A Midsummer Dream

Poetry

In the heart of summer, on the fourth day of July,
A tapestry from history unfurls beneath the sky.
The echo of a nation’s birth, the sound of Liberty’s cry,
Resonates through time, in every patriot’s sigh.

Amidst the dance of sunlight, the whispering summer breeze,
Stand symbols of a struggle, of victory hard seized.
Fires ignited long ago, in hearts brave and unbowed,
Illuminating freedom’s path, a beacon aloud.

The canvas of the morning, painted with hues of hope,
Mirrors the spirit of a people, their resilience helping them cope.
Through trials and tribulations, through every ebb and flow,
The flame of independence continues to brightly glow.

Monuments of courage, etched in stone and time,
Stand silent to witness a climb most sublime.
From thirteen colonies, under a banner star-spangled,
A nation was born, through a dream untangled.

The evening brings the spectacle, a symphony of light,
An annual affirmation, of a promise burning bright.
Fireworks painting the night, each explosion a verse,
In an epic poem of freedom, profound, diverse.

And as the echoes fade, as the last sparks descend,
The spirit of the fourth remains, a flame that will not end.
For each Fourth of July, tells a tale oft-told,
Of a dream of liberty, forever taking hold.
