Days of Yesterday revealed

Some of the most inspirational things in my life come from the days of yesterday or yesteryear. Music that stirs the soul that makes the heart leap and words sang with such conviction that it makes a believer out of any doubter. Or an old movie that deals with love that makes believe just because it’s so raw. Also there are no gimmicks just someone professing their love for someone else. Songs like “You Send Me”, Aretha Franklin’s version, or Sam Cooke’s, “A change gone come”. These old songs that specks as fresh as new wound today; spilling their contents on our souls making our emotions unfold something so old still have such a powerful rip on our souls. My days of yesterday thinking back to my childhood; Running with my slippers to the neighbors’ house where she was cooking one of my favorites dishes and me so excited that she was making some for me. The quite summers claiming trees and eating until the taste was gone. I remember walking to the beach with a group of friends my brother and my cousin too. All of us in the nativity of youth thinking summer would last forever along with youth. No responsibilities at all just washing a few dishes and making sure we were clean. I can still smell the salty air while we fished from the dock and caught fishes that were no bigger than the palm of our hands but it was a thrill to have caught something. We were juvenile hunters of the land challenging the might sea to a fight. I remember the strong wings of the hurricanes and me like a chick under the mother’s hens wings how I cling to my mother. I can still smell her perfume and see her smiling down at me with her arms around me while I fell asleep in the safest place on earth; her bosoms. I remember my loving grandmother giving me a dollar every Sunday and falling asleep in church leaning on her shoulders. So today I reflect on days of yesterday and I invoke all the happiness and the memories’ that once was mine...
