Once Imagined

Once Imagined

In a perfect summer once imagined

There we are

Fresh air breezes through the half open window

A violent tangle of hair and laughter

Weaving through the winding road ahead

Rare golden warmth of freezing sands

When we arrive

Gazing out upon the stretching blue expanse

Cascades and crashes of distant whitecaps

Basking in the glow of either summer or ourselves.

Carefree wanderings in the fields of home

We are alive

Dancing through the wild long grass and flowers

Daisies invading such well-worn shoes

Lying on the soft green earth in blissful silence.

Tender, thoughtful moments in hazy evenings

We have each other

Wild eyes of ideas dance and flicker

A dreamed up future of endless summers

We lend our light to the moths and creatures.

Smiles and kisses intertwined

As we wake up

Then morning brings its soft reflections

Fading dreams are lost to time’s advances

Rolling over to the absence which lies beside.

Be it life or fool’s imagination

This was our time

Summer’s end brings sudden chill and feeling

Setting fire to that time once imagined

But the sky is always bright and blue.

There is a playful innocence that follows along with some stunning imagery. You created a beautiful setting to wander through.
