How could I ever forget?
Those unforgettable summer nights.
A warm breeze pranced as it teased
My bare legs respectfully.
Music to my ears as the tenor frogs sang
A universal orchestral band lost in the wind.
That was my whole world.
I danced with an enticing twirl
Trying to match the compelling rhythm.
Around the raging bonfire twice,
I quickly tired before I mastered
The eastern whirl as I dizzied myself.
I was just a young girl.
Back then...
Back when
The nights were fiercely free.
They were mine as I was
Filled completely with the purest glee.
How imaginative of me.
And, naively carefree as could be.
As the bold mosquito bit me,
Surprisingly, I felt alive!
I was an honored prize it'd won.
Merely dinner at the right place and time.
I wasn't mad.
The brightest firefly had indeed justly shined
At that exact moment for both of us.
It was haunting dusk.
I vividly remember in lakeside moonlit shimmers.
I wasn't at all afraid and had it made... it seemed.
At that time.
2005?
Maybe 9?
I felt sublime in my prime.
Never knew this would rhyme.
