Summer Days in the river
The bike ride down
The wind in my face
I wish every day was like this
Dad
Hanging up a hammock
While me and my sister walk up the river
Making up our own games
And convincing dad to let us
Swim in the river
Though the current was rough
I Remember how he would sometimes
Say yes
Letting the water
Engulf our bodies
Pulling us gently
Downstream
Years ago
I didn't realize
I didn't see how quickly
How quickly our world is disappearing
How quickly the water has dried up
Those days
Slipped out of my hands like water
Slowly evaporating
Slowly slipping from my hands
Dripping into some place
That is unknown
Someday
I will visit this place
The past of my life
The good days by the river
Someday.
