A Night At The Park

“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

“A Shining Star In The Sky”

Editor’s Note: This is dedicated to our brother, whose spirit remains alive along with their infectious personality and kind heart.

“A Shining Star In The Sky”

By Derek Felix AKA DFlex

It’s the middle of the night

And rain has finally touched down

Here in a quiet place where not much is right

As I walked back, there you were on higher ground

A true poet in every sense

Whose smile and charm lit up the day

You studied those beats leaving us in full suspense

All this time later, the sky remains cloudy and gray

I wrote this letter to you once

That was a tribute to what you are

I still have it to this very day

We can still see you even if you’re very far

Because like I’ve said before, legends never die

They’re forever and ever like your futuristic star

It helps explain why I never wonder why

You’re a shining star in the sky

Who stands out above

You’re a shining star in the sky

Like an angel spreading wings of love

I can still see you in another dimension

The luster never goes away

It’s like that day I once saw your shadow in a picture

That left me speechless and beyond comprehension

Maybe that moment was the one I needed

It let me know you still existed

A shining star in the sky

Who watches proudly upstairs

A shining star in the sky

Who was truly authentic and cares

I know we might not be able to talk in person

But you are always present in our lives

Reminding us what you stood for

That’s how I know you’re still alive

You had swag and style along with class

I’m glad we were friends during that time

Your beats reminded me of a blast from the past

It inspired plenty of rhythm and rhyme

It makes me proud to see that spirit still around

I can feel it in the current tracks that possess so much soul

Giving off vibes of those days and that cool sound

One day, we’ll meet again

Reunite like those carefree days

God bless you my friend
