Memories 1960+++

Around the fire where shadows play

Tales would dance in the smoky grey

Laughter echoed through the pines

Those were the days I called mine

Crackles in the night sky's dome

Stories made of heart and home

Oh how those whispers still ignite

Memories burning soft and bright

Barefoot where the sand meets the sea

Parents smiled like eternity

Nature held us in her embrace

Warmth reflected on every face

Crackles in the night sky's dome

Stories made of heart and home

Oh how those whispers still ignite

Memories burning soft and bright

Time zooms past like a lightning blade

But in my heart those nights don’t fade

I hold them close when I close my eyes

A movie reel under velvet skies

Now the city hums its restless tune

But I hum campfire songs to the moon

The echoes hum along so faint

A reminder of a world untaint
