Evening falls early
Dark skies
Occasional sunset with
Magical coloring
Paints trees and towers
Freeing us of any thought
Leaving us alone with wonder
Reflection on childhood
And neighborhood friends
Who amongst them
Would you like to share
All that nature has brought you
The dreaming then of
These possibilities
Where would they be
And what do they see
As they look out at
Nature’s scene and
Could they possibly
Every think of me
My laughs and screams
No guessing
Or worries
We take what is here
Wish everyone well
What we had is gone
We wandered on
By chance or plan
What we have is here
Not in yesteryear
The past was good
Today has new needs
Provided by us and
Our new family of
Dreaming friends
