PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Where there once was light

I shined

Before the war of age

and appearance,

Where there once was time

there was joy

in all the things I loved

Be it small or large in heart,

Where there once was you

I was lost

in a sea of indifference

or doubt to dabble in,

Where there once was sleep

I was awake

for everything that needed me

I was stone foundation to stand on,

Where there once was intoxication

I was pure

in thought and body

I was never divided or diluted by pain,

Where there once was confusion

I was clear

as a spring fed river

with minerals to keep me on the straight,

Where there once was a "once upon a time"

I was fine falling in line

or falling in love

but deception now follows me

like a flea to the wolf pack

or a static charge to a load of laundry,

It's there in the air

with hope's kind company

but our dreams can not manifest

and our seven year old selves

are lost under a godless wanting,

I just want to be content

but that is easier said than a war seldom won with words
