Genevieve Cyrus ’22, Memento Aurum

i remember the golden beaches outside our windows, far from our lives where we spent our days away from home.

leaving our worries shortly behind and living purely in the moment, with the sun slipping through shining waves.

running in the sand, nowhere to go; just walking until we changed our minds. a full moon glistened over our heads,

with a hue spun of gold and silver. you won’t see how golden the times are until it’s all finally over.
