Okay so you guys know that I love streetlamps, right? So I'm going to do an ode to my streetlamps.
The light shines down upon my head,
Forming a halo around my hair,
A crown of warmth.
Memories of not-so long ago come alive,
When I take a deep breath and close my eyes,
The memories are of friends,
Of old high school classes,
Of former loves and affections.
Reminds me of my old suburban world,
Silent and peaceful Friday nights,
The rising sun above the over-looking mountains,
The sign of a new day.
Streetlamps how they guide me,
Through the shadowed Suburban streets on quiet nights,
They glow with an internal orb full of good things,
I feel a haunting happiness when I see their light shining on the ground.
Streetlamps how they make me want to dance in their light,
Beneath the full moon and the constellations,
Thinking about tomorrow and how this happiness shall never end,
When I would dance, I felt on top of the world.
But someday, all things must come to an end.
Things became complicated, I could no longer stay,
How sad I was to know I was going away,
From my beloved streetlamps.
Saying good-bye was hard,
Leaving was even harder,
How I mourned to break away,
And to run back into the light of the streetlamps.
I have stopped dancing for now,
No need to, it's all dark here,
Now I wait and dream,
For someday I will dance in the light again.
Someday I will come back to my streetlamps,
Rejoin old friends, familiar faces,
Continue from where I left off,
And indeed dance once more,
Forever.
