The summer seems a moving picture in your mind Days stretched out like lifetimes, fields of memories inscribed -In the tree bark -In the uplifting smooth air And the sun It is the sun that beats your downcast eyes You revisit memory lane time and time again Reading the memory inscribed on your Walking path-remember? When Johnny stuck his tongue to a frozen playground pole? Or Kyle's crush on Katie in the 5th grade? And such things strike as children's laughter The times when childhood flowed like water, A fountain of youth those years Of which you have had your share And the memories blossom fruitfully Although, now, you drink from a trickle And now the days are shorter- But you sometimes pretend, you are Only gone away for a short while
