Summers Passed

I can feel it. The smell in the air of barbecued food and bone fires. I can hear the sound of six string guitars playing in the wind. I can taste the water falling from the sky as the monsoons sweep across the desert. I can see the sun bursting into shades of orange as it hits the horizon at the end of a long day. The breeze feels warm and I feel nostalgia seeping into every corner of my mind. The days when I used to run, play, and laugh with the old faces. Back in time when I was growing and had no worries of the adult world. I long for those summer days when I felt invincible and I was able to do anything.
Those summer days are what kept me going. They are what kept me human. Perseverance found me one summer day with inspiration following close behind. A story had started then...A story of a young man and his destiny, but that's not the only one that began that day. Another story came to be...The story of a boy, his dreams, and the inner world they had become. Beach, Forest, Mountain, and Sky...all combined to create the essence of this boy's imagination and source for his creations. One day this boy grew...as we all must do. He is a man now and lives among the darkness of the adult world, but holds on tightly to the world still deep inside...The world from his child times. At day this man dreams of infinite possibilities and at night he catches fire flies by a grand oak tree with the ones he loves.
How those summers just passed right by, but there are many more to come and many dreams to still be dreamed. So, where shall the journey of life lead this man? Only God knows and that...The man surely trusts in.
