The smell of the canals

The fish and crab

The smell of old memories

Splashing in the pool with my family

Walking down the dusty gravel road

Towards the first place I’ve ever known

Feels like a far away dream

Looking around at the surrounding vibrant oak trees

The night sky twinkles

A million stars all packed together

No other lights but the one God has gifted

Feels too big and bright

Can anyone outshine its light?

Everything is still there

The gazebo, the trailer, my grandmothers chair

The nostalgic remembrance of a time that was precious

That time is in the faraway distance

It belongs to the country’s night
