Memories

In memories that i hold dear,
As callow youth unfazed by fear.
Those carefree days so long ago,
My leap of faith, rash bravado
Emboldened by the atmosphere.

A photograph, my souvenir 
A silhouette from yesteryear.
Recalling twilights sunset glow.
In memories.

As i look back, pastimes seem clear.
In thoughts once more i do appear,
Free falling to the waves below.
Exhilarating feelings flow
As voices from the cliff top cheer.
In memories.

Picture number 3.
