A world transformed
It seems like yesterday I stood by a field,
Uncle Tom's orchard nearby, abundant and fair.
The sun shone bright, the wind blew slow and yielded,
And trees danced to a tune that only nature shared.
I waited for my friends, eager to begin
Our blissful play, and let our joyous spirits spin.
But then I heard my name, and with a glowing face,
I turned, expecting friends, but found a different place.
The city's chaos reigned, with noise and disarray,
And I, a stranger, felt lost in the fray.
The world had changed, and I, with it, did stray,
And wondered if I, too, had changed with the passing day.
And so I ponder, lost, in this unfamiliar land
