Poem
Once upon a time here on earth
Before the dinosaurs or Eden, for what it's worth
I lived a life that you n'er can ken
Which is why I've never spoken of then.

'Tis hard to describe a scene so lush
That its fertile blooms entwined could make swingers blush
And birds sang together in perfect chords
While bees hummed along, not knowing the words.

And people, like me, had legs, wings and fin
Easily to from land, air, and water dip in
And we didn't need mirrors to see our allure
Today's judgment and shame makes me so sad, for sure.

Did I tell you that four suns shown bright in our sky?
And their light bounced like prisms off our wings as we'd fly?
And the rainbow of colors made the trees bend and sway
To get the best view of the magic each day.

And the air, it was clean, and the sky without end
But the water was by far my favorite, my friend.
It had form, rising up in a beautiful sphere
But faceted like diamonds and perfectly clear.

And if my friend were across the sea
I could see her as if she were right next to me
And both fish and mammals that dwelled in that space
Could converse with us, and even served snacks at their place.

The animals included species you've heard of today
But I'm so sad to see how they've changed, I must say.
Our horses had wings, but we never would ride!
Dogs and cats independent and so dignified!

The food you ask? Oh I drool just to think!!
The berries so blue, grapefruits so pink
We never consumed any meat, fowl or fish
Why would you cook up a friend as a dish?

But the air always smelled like a Thanksgiving pie!
The salads so fresh the crunch made some birds fly.
Peach nectar, fresh tea, juices squeezed from the vine
And never a wait in a grocery line!

There never was sickness, no one ever died
I can't recall a time that in sadness I cried
Not like today, in this Home now that I'm 
All alone except for "Once Upon a Time."
