Description
The way of the world, dancing, bright colored dreams, biting into life like a plump orange. Soul to soul, the sound of crowds and music reverberate, singing βSummer! Summer! Summer!β When the day lasts as long as it wants before retiring into smooth starlit night, we pair off and head down to the lake, the holiest of holies. Beads braided into our hair, faces painted, we sing the songs of our ancestors. We make love, ignoring all those things which would make these days unreal. These are the best days and nights, tattooed upon our hearts. This is where we awaken and dream. This is where we learned the Fire Dance so long ago.Related content

And how quickly it passes--that's what they said, but we didn't listen--and now it's here! Beautiful writing!

Ah, to go back to the days when we were immortal and time was an alien concept.

"biting into life like a plump orange", " When the day lasts as long as it wants" - I really like those metaphors (:
I think you have missed a comma and a space between '"Summer!"' and "When".

Thank you! Got the space, don't see where a comma is missing...

I will remember these few sentences. The world seems so gray of late.

Thank you, I guess that's really what made me write it... the world doesn't have enough color in it in January.

When the day lasts as long as it wants. And as long as we want it to.
Is there any reason you've not put this in your gallery yet? It should be there.
