PD 2: Aidan D- I Remember

I Remember

I remember the first night of Hurricane Sandy

The way the beachy candle scent wafted through the house

And how the smell of fresh air was only there for a few minutes.

I remember the homemade chicken soup

Like a homemade bowl of comfort.

The Sega controller's touch distracting me from the disaster outside my home,

my own personal escape from the jail that was the storm.

I remember the shining, green transformer

How the light had shown from far away.

Each time I recall this memory, I remember the good times,

us joking around to prevent sadness

taking our minds off of the storm, and the stresses of life.
