memories

the refracted light
bouncing around the room
whimsical
and bright
aboard our ship of roof shingles and sunshine
as we sail across a sea of smiles
and the scent of blueberry muffins
laughing as the waves of friendship and something else
chase after our toes 
we run across sands of green grass
far from the ocean, yet drowning in joy
we dance in the reflections of the stars on the car window
and the taste of caramel 
all the memories of past times just like this
melted together like the two ice cream flavors in my dish
sprinkled with mischievous grins
the sea glass whale on the window sill
catching the small amount light from outside
and shining it onto my small smile
recalling the things that made me so happy 
as the cold raindrops splatter against my windowpane
and i wrap my fingers around the cold glass of my treasure
wishing i could still share all the joy it brought me.
