Sounds, sweet aromas of summer,
Squeaking hammock sings.
Warm breeze gently tease
A letter from my grasp.
I stride away, as memories replay
Laughing as a child.
Competing with my siblings
Jumping high to catch the snow.
We licked small hands to taste ‘ice cold’
These flakes, asbestos, didn’t melt.
I stack the fire and watch the issles
Burst to life, temporarily replacing fear.
