Fireworks Or War?

Setting on a rock
Watching time pass
Freedom no worry
As night settles in
Boats sailing inward
Resting of their bays
Waiting for night fall
When the sky a blaze
Floating upon waves
With an added touch
A of lighting
Shakes, the darken plan mist
Full of joy screaming
Moods intensity
The chill in my bones
Fells isolating
Flash back miles always
Reality slips
Always a moment
Then this memory fades
Until the next one

Rocks setting as I
Watch time pass
Freedom no worry
Right settles down
Sailing boats inward
Resting at their bays
Night full awaits
The sky a blaze
Floating waves come
With an added touch
Darkness shakes the mist
Scrams and full of joy
Moods intensifies
My bones chill
Feels… beautifully
Miles away feedback/ flashback
Slips reality
Moments away
Memory drafts
Until the next one
Slums
Viewing some places
Riding along roads
Peoples false faces
A symbol ? One Code?
Impression at first
Scared me go away
Living here seems worst
Exploring new ways
A last moment
Realism clear
It doesn’t cost a cent
Once you know what’s here
