A porch on an old plantation In a late summer evening The failing coast lies just before the falling horizon Sound of crickets and cicadas As muffled laughter and music plays in the den What never happened for me, a memory I treasure though it isn't mine Familiarity nonetheless, and warm

Memory of What Wasn't
A porch on an old plantation In a late summer evening The failing coast lies just before the falling horizon Sound of crickets and cicadas As muffled laughter and music plays in the den What never happened for me, a memory I treasure though it isn't mine Familiarity nonetheless, and warm
Based on a feeling I once had when growing up in Southeast Lousiana
