A cool breeze down from above

blew over my soul as though visions flashed

A cool breeze blew over my soul as

the bullet bit into my veins.

Bright glow of the fiery hit as

my leg throbbed up to my brains.

_

Seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven as

the social crowd was forming.

I'll allow just one more breath as

this hazard of a dozen was conforming.

My adult mind casts back to childhood as

the maple trees were producing syrup.

Amber color with dark, deep hints as

if pizza with syrup could stack up.

Never, ever has a day like this been as

deeply flowing as the river shares love.

My timer is up, my song is sung as

though visions flashed down from above.
