“Strawberry”
By Derek Felix AKA DFlex
Strawberry colors decorate the blue skies
With the sun fading fast behind the clouds
Lighting up our hearts like warm apple pie
Perched atop as flights pass by amongst a crowd
It reminds us of a sweet shortcake for dessert
That tasted luscious and scrumptious after dinner
The coffee washed it down for a fond memory
A flashback to a cold night out during the winter
The florescent sky highlights a late August day
Full of warmth as a full moon peeks out from behind
Taking us back to thoughts of yesterday
All you have to do is hit pause and press rewind
One day soon, we may find that bright light
That exists upstairs by the shining stars
Creating visions for all to admire tonight
Like that strawberry colored speeding car
The one you can’t take your eyes off of
It flies when you accelerate the gas
Rising to a new level that stands above
Giving off the vibe of a blast from the past
You can recall a classic firebird your Dad had
It left you full of wonder and amazement
What would it have been like if you drove that car
A speed racer with the perfect placement
It would be the realization of a dream
A kid’s fantasy that finally would come true
Almost like ordering a cake with flavorful cream
And pretty soon, you’d enjoy it like that sky blue
All you have to do is stay for a while
Then, let your imagination go to a magical place
Be happy, live in the moment, and always smile
Stay positive with a unique style and grace
The sun finally sets and runs away and hides
It leaves off a shade of purple, creating a maze
As an autumn wind suddenly glides
Leaving that strawberry color to end the day
