Crimson &Gold

“Happiness isn't something you experience; it's something you remember”. Oscar Levant
The Falling gold from the sky told us it was time for what we all needed
The chance to relax, to rest, to be our selves after the weeks of school and work
Once born, the light could be seen for miles down the beach
We stood back in fear of melting from the heat
Soon the fireworks emerged, and the fighting with stick and stones began like cavemen over a meal
But as always, the simple problems were solved and the world spun on without hiccupping
Stories were told and wisdom passed around
Soon the dares were given into and the fire would part for the brave soul to jump
We would take pictures to hold the memories

But I remember most, that unlike the pictures
Our memories of the numerous nights will not fade and wither with time but grow old with us and show us that once we had it easy but it seemed so hard
Once our back was to the past our face to the future
But we lived without the world holding us back
