Highlighting dim blue lines on a poets empty page,
Soft hum of vehicles on the highway echo through the night,
Lightning bugs fill the air; setting the scene of eves stage.

The radio’s filled with words of loss, sorrow, and regret,
A citronella candle slowly dances warding off the bugs,
Miss Charlotte dangles near the window, waiting in her web,
Reminders of a cherished childhood now swept under the rug.

It’s hard to believe that I could forget this peaceful place
Just run off from reality and seek refuge in a world unknown
And though at times I miss the innocence; the feel of purity’s grace
Here amidst the memories just no longer feels like home.

A small fading flashlight lights the way for my pen,
Highlighting dim blue lines on a poets empty page,
Soft hum of vehicles on the highway echo through the night,
Lightning bugs fill the air; setting the scene of eves stage.

The radio’s filled with words of loss, sorrow, and regret,
A citronella candle slowly dances warding off the bugs,
Miss Charlotte dangles near the window, waiting in her web,
Reminders of a cherished childhood now swept under the rug.

It’s hard to believe that I could forget this peaceful place
Just run off from reality and seek refuge in a world unknown
And though at times I miss the innocence; the feel of purity’s grace
Here amidst the memories just no longer feels like home.
