Panoramic

We walked into 
The temple of our dreams 
With sandy feet 
And tanned brows, 
Full of knowing 
The future belonged to us. 

How we rejoiced 
In those rented hours of summer, 
Borrowed against the promise 
That we would never again 
Own our youth, 
Displayed beneath moonlit piers. 

It was the cause and effect 
Of astonishing sunsets 
Over the Gulf of Mexico 
Greeting our intensity. 
Yet, 
There was so much more. 

Now these panoramic memories, 
Effervescent and thriving, 
Return with each passing June. 
There, I can still 
Smell the salt on my skin, 
And taste the fire of living.
