Someday
Summer Days splashing in the river
The bike ride down
The wind in my face
My hair dancing with the breeze
I wish
every
Day
was like This
Dad,
Hanging up his hammock
While me and Maddie walk up the river
Making up our own games
And convincing Dad to let us
Swim in the river
Though the current was rough
I remember how he would sometimes
Say
“yes”
Letting the water
Engulf our bodies
Pulling us gently
Downstream
Years ago
I didn’t realize
I didn’t see how quickly
How quickly our world is disappearing
How quickly the water has dried up
Those days
Slipped out of my hands like water
Slowly evaporating
Slipping from my hands
Dripping into some place
That is unknown
Someday
I will visit this place
The past of my life
The perfect days by the river
Someday.
This is an older poem I rewrote, I have a few more coming but wanted to see how this went. I know not many people who aren’t spam see any of this but i like to think that maybe someday their could be.
Thank you for reading
