Distant memories
Of times long past
Voices forgotten
Some faces too
These moments in our lives
Don't always last
They stay fleeting
But will never die
The sounds of adults laughing
And familiar music with unknown meaning
Catching lightning bugs
Like it's the first and last summer of our young lives
The glow of the moon
Brightly gleaming
This feeling of freedom will never be replaced
A world of promise and opportunity
Up for the taking
Ignorant to the knowledge
The cage of our innocence
Is slowing breaking
Without realizing what is at stake
Or even
There is a limit
To our invincible days
At this very point
Beauty and love
Will not hide from us
It is in all shapes and forms
To breathe in and see
And touch and absorb
In this very moment in time
The world is ours
Yours and mine
