0 plasmid Posted July 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 firework show in San Diego on July 4? I didn't but some folks from work did, and they weren't too happy about driving out to watch it. To the point at hand, fireworks weren't what I had in mind, although in retrospect I see that it'd be a great fit. The clues that point elsewhere are subtle, one of which is the timing of the events in the second and third stanza that would work a little better for what I have in mind than for a firework.

Question
plasmid
Terrestrial start, from home I depart
A jaded ascension on high
Arise from the plain, my former domain
Now nestled aloft in the sky
The sunbeams are cast from source where amassed
Encompassing all as if noon
Then color is lost, a snowball is tossed
Defying the fact that it's June
In perilous state, appearing ornate
With hardly a hope to defend
Dissolving in flight, to left and to right
This life meets a zephyrous end
