On Warm Summer Nights

On warm summer nights
I sit outside, gaze at the stars
And wonder at the universe
Infinitely expansive
Unaware of my presence
I fall asleep on the back porch
On warm summer nights
The humidity wraps me as a cloak
Not a care in the world
Dreams take flight
Memories of days gone by
Consume my mind
On warm summer nights
As I glance upon the river
And her dazzling reflections
My heart yearns for the return
Of youth and innocence
Dancing across the fields
On warm summer nights
Completely invisible
I feel so small
It makes no sense at all
Staring at the darkened sky
I miss my life
On warm summer nights
