📷
Pungent smells of plant and earth.
The world was shining bright.
The summer sun had brought its rays.
The sky was filled with light.
I closed my eyes upon the scene
Imagined birds in flight.
The fountain splashing water fresh.
I looked on with delight.
The heat and dryness of the day
Diminished, it did seem.
I could not feel the itchy grass.
All vanished in my dream.
I still see the vision clear.
Vivid color. Sky of blue.
The world at peace. A place of joy.
These gifts that I once knew.
The Backstory:
Looking through old family photographs, I found several vivid memories. In the background is the earliest home I remember living in. The fountain, birds have come alive through my childhood dreams. My sister and brother are with me eating watermelon. These are sweet moments I still treasure. Childhood’s colorful imagination, finding peace in the moment, and being with family.
After all, it’s a beautiful life.
