"Be Home Before the Streetlights Come On"
I'd head out to play
after dinner with
that mandate running
through my mind.
I'd join in the game
of the night--hide
and seek or tag,
catch or kickball.
My friends and I
could see time slip
away as the sun
crept down and
the natural light
grew dimmer.
As all around us
turned gray, we
would stop play
then begin to
make our way
home before the
streetlights came on.
The prompt for Day 20 of the PAD Challenge--Dark. It's hard to believe we are in the homestretch of the challenge.
