Finalist in the 'Write Here Write Now 2017' competition

The crowded Sydney Harbour that appears once a year
The bright Vivid lights that leap wall to wall
The swirling lights that creep up the buildings gracefully
The big dancing animals dazzling at the zoo
The wow’s and omg’s that you hear the people say
The big bright flashes that reflect off the dark blue water
The loud voices that you hear
The spectacular lights that appear on the Opera House
Reflect off the mysterious water
The bright, calming, glistening flashing around me
It’s hard to get a glimpse of fast movement that
Creates a good mood
Now your journey begins here at Vivid
