Memories

I sat and watched a sea of grain
Caught in the magic gold of sun
Dancing, dancing just for me
To let me know I’m everyone.
 
All that gold was framed in black
Of thunderclouds before a storm
Like two worlds trying to compete
With beauty that was wildly sweet.
 
The contrasts told how worlds collide
Enhancing moments, memories
That haunt us years after they’re gone
In flashes that are meant to tease.
 
They call to mind the sights the sounds
And feelings that take us away
From deep emotions, cruel and sad,
That almost stopped our hearts today.
