William Masonis Poet Lyric

Going To the Land of Long Ago

Going to the Land of Long Ago

Somehow, someway
Many years hence from today
Will I feel myself unraveling,
Unraveling and traveling
To the Land of Long Ago?

What will leave and what will stay
In that place so faraway,
Will I go unfathoming
Adrift as I go traveling,
To the Land of Long Ago?

In the Land of Long Ago
I will live among the things I know;
Though I've known you well
You now seem strange,
Yet still I find you; I can tell
The Land of Long Ago is well arranged.

There where Past is ever Present
Everything tastes bittersweet,
The painful mixes with the pleasant
Opposing forces swell and meet
To form the Land of Long Ago.

What once was distant shall then draw near 
Separations disappear:
I shall have what I hold dear
As my days burn down to gold
As I drift upon the seas of Long Ago.
