A Lifetime Ago Just Yesterday
It was a lifetime ago...just yesterday,
when rain fell softly upon my face.
That spoke to me of younger years,
with all my innocence thus encased.
I could feel the rainbow...just out of reach,
all the colors of moments passed.
Where truths were lies and lies believed,
countless grains in an hourglass.
I can bear forth the torch...yet not burn the eyes,
to scald away truth's stench and decay.
Why can't we hold to the dreams of youth,
that was a lifetime ago...just yesterday?
