Running across the sand
The damp grains flinging to the back of our calves
The ball passing between us
From player to player
Bouncing, skidding
We’re laughing and jumping
Thinking of nothing but this moment
As the sun sets across the lake
Dark shadows against orange light
Young, carefree
We shift to the fire
To bask in the warm air
Thinking about leaving this place
This place you never want to leave
Recollecting, remembering
These days we’ve spent together
Not wanting to forget
These people here
Influence us in the future
Thankful, respected
The future so far away
When we come back to these
Perfect memories that wander our minds
Only emerging when needed most
Savoring, remarkable
The memories that made our childhood
Meaningful and memorable
We will thank them and beg
Not to forget these memories so
Engaging, caressing
The damp grains flinging to the back of our calves
The ball passing between us
From player to player
Bouncing, skidding
We’re laughing and jumping
Thinking of nothing but this moment
As the sun sets across the lake
Dark shadows against orange light
Young, carefree
We shift to the fire
To bask in the warm air
Thinking about leaving this place
This place you never want to leave
Recollecting, remembering
These days we’ve spent together
Not wanting to forget
These people here
Influence us in the future
Thankful, respected
The future so far away
When we come back to these
Perfect memories that wander our minds
Only emerging when needed most
Savoring, remarkable
The memories that made our childhood
Meaningful and memorable
We will thank them and beg
Not to forget these memories so
Engaging, caressing
I liked how you ended each stanza with two descriptive words because it left the reader with a lot to think about. Great job :)
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed this poem. I agree that it was cool how you ended the verses with discriptive words. It made it have a really nice flow to it. You also did a good job describing how people feel when they are in a perfect moment. Great job!
