“A Night At The Park”
By Derek F
It was a cool night by the park
As we walked out towards the sea
The misty rain could be felt as it became dark
Adding to the intrigue, suspense, and mystery
A boat could be seen in the distance
Passing through the area onto its destination
It would soon drift away without any resistance
Into an unknown voyage that could wind up on vacation
While we pay our respects to those fallen soldiers by the memorial
The peace and calm all around the place
Allowing us to free our minds and later journal
Its surroundings warm our hearts with grace
It isn’t hard to picture the days of summer gone by
When people enjoyed themselves on better days
By taking advantage of the park and swinging so high in the sky
Flying into orbit into another dimension full of purple haze
The rain will soon pass after a stormy Friday
Allowing for some warmer weather and sunshine
Maybe we can revisit the park on Saturday or Sunday
And then we can rediscover that rhythm and rhyme
Until then, I’ll see you at our familiar spot
Let’s chill and vibe on a good night
I’ll write some lyrics to a cool beat and take a shot
Just kick back, relax, and take in the starlight
