Hay Memories

By Jyothika Bala

The country breeze gently brushes my hair
As I lay on the hay, thinking how I've been wasting my youth all day
These thoughts will turn into memories one day

I run through the forest, I pass these trees
I see this hay covered in leaves
And I read this book about how you come across 
The things that you love
Stay in your mind
Till the light leaves your eyes

I get these hay memories 
There's a cemetery nearby
Where my grandma was buried and so will I
When you write your eulogy 
Please mention my hay memories 
And promise me you'll never cry

Hay memories 
Country breeze rocking
Hay memories 
Time set me free, I got nothing

Knowing that I'll be alive
Sooner or later we are all gonna die
Gotta live these
Hay memories
