The Darkest Night
Midnight sky as black as ink
Is this the end? I start to think
A silent chill brings sudden dread
And anxious thoughts are in my head
A moment spent in deep reflection
A second more for recollection
A sudden burst of light and sound
And loud explosions all around
Like jewels right before my eyes
A myriad colours fill the skies
Then people cheer were having fun
Another year has just begun
