Smoky, blue skies tinted yellow,
Humid, syrup-like air,
Unevenly paved footpaths
Next to sky-scraping buildings
...
A burst of colour dotted the field,
Yet again bringing it to life,
From the relentless freezing months,
When pristeen white snow covered the ground,
...
Once upon my younger years
When time disappeared faster than unwanted tears
I laughed all day and cried all night
Until you came within my wandering sight
...
