And That Was When Part 6

And That Was When Part 6 So often you enjoyed Those long strange years imprisoned In Life and Time, Especially the new ones you brought in, Reliving the perfection you once knew. And there were Loves, And Friends And Enemies And hates and joys and fears All on the way As the currents bore you To the distant, unknown Other shore. There were always ten questions For every answer, Ten regrets for every triumph - But you learned. You learned to see. You learned to wait. You learned to listen. And always, without knowledge, You learned to watch For what was coming. And that was when Your days built you For better or worse For greater or less. And that was when Your vision dimmed or brightened, Not without - within.
