Poem
I have a faint memory From a time long ago I was five maybe six I was walking a dirt path from my grand parent?s bungalow It was early in the morning and the peat moss was everywhere I remember my grandfather just looking at me with a smile Then his head nudged to the left and said come along with me for a while He?d take my hand and we went for a walk past the mist and through the brush It led into a thick field where blueberries were everywhere On our way back I could see a pebble shore it was through the trees and across the way It was on a crystal lake somewhere upstate in a town of the same name sake And just up the road was a pasture which was part of someone?s estate Its landscape caught my attention and would remain embedded in my mind I remember jogging along side the road back to the view I felt drawn to. Because I wanted to see the sun set I went back to that pasture and watched it go down From the distance I could see cows grazing the land too. I stood there just looking at everything around me It was such a beautiful scene A gentle breeze and the scent of flowers all around I took the moment into my mind like a photograph in time On the way back I notice this prairie was attached to someone?s home There was a sign in front it was on a red brick stone wall It said the Johnson and Johnson estate I stole one lasting view then ran back before it was too late Going the other way I could see another giant sign It said Crystal Lake Pennsylvanian next left I ran for the entrance and up the pebble hill I turned back for a moment and looked across the street I could see the wire metal fence and the pebble shore I took another picture into memory Then continued running up the hill and on the dirt road My heart was racing cause? I thought everyone was looking for me I could see my aunt and uncle just waving to me Then I heard my grandmother call out my name I could smell food in the air chicken and sweet potatoes on the Bar-B-Q I sat down to eat and found my cousins there too.
