Reminiscence of Summer

 How staying up till 5 a.m. 

watching the blue hues disappear 

into yellow - orange & nothingness,

reminds me of that summer. 

How I associate happiness & 

perfectly cut watermelons into triangles, 

with that summer. 

How we use to fight over a bigger scoop of ice cream, 

having nothing to do all day, 

sweating in summer sun,

was all about that summer. 

Sometimes the sky reminds me of that summer

that feeling deep inside me, 

waiting to be united with my memory. 

Let that summer be a sweet remembrance 

I keep coming back to.
