Teary-eyed nostalgia

The kind that makes you look up at the sky
and want to travel down that broken path again.
The breeze of a Fall evening,
just before the sun hides itself away,
you feel it--cool on you face
while it warms your heart.

The smells of yesterday
begin to permeate memories.
Days, months, and years
are all remembered
through your nose.
Breathe deeply,
sink deeper into that blackness inside you.
Look for that time when we were all starting
anew
and children ran in circles
yelling at the sky.

This reminds me of Enigma's song, "Return to Innocence." ^_^

I adored these lines:

Look for that time when we were all starting

and children ran in circles
