Expanse of Time

Expanse of Time The past is a bridge where I once stood tall upon a time when chocolate was rationed and oranges were only eaten at Christmas and it was a sensation when a ship loaded bananas came in. I was proud then of my heritage, we were special and the future was a beautiful landscape. the bridge, made of wood took fire and fell into the river that had stopped flowing we had used too much of the world’s resources and now the future was unpredictable as we naked stood on the holy mountain the earth shook and humbled us- This year the banana boat will not come in, the vines, dry and wizen was not a future I had foreseen.
