The Milky way above us,
while in the road we sit
listening to the music of the wind
gentle summer breeze.
Together we sit, next to eachother
upon the hill, street crossing the town
all six of us.
Breathing slowly, awing at the shooting stars
darkness of night around us and moonlight
shining on us.
Trees swaying in the breeze,
gently creaking
smells of eucalyptus trees surround us.
I have yet to forget this land,
beautiful summer nights,
spent sitting underneath the stars.
Speaking of the day,
nights that had passed by
whispering about our loved ones
and how they have tamed our hearts.
Getting up, now two a.m.
we walk back home
and fall asleep listening to the crickets of night.
This was a touching poem: It rushed my mind back in time so long ago,
a time on Art Hill in St. Louis with a seventeen year old girl; who later
became my wife. Thanks for a great read.
