Daniel Larson Poet Rhyme

Of Long Ago

Dreamt a dream that I was dreaming
     of a time so long ago
That yesterday had not yet come;
     was so much we’d never know.

Day by day we were wandering
     without rhyme or reason why,
Been going off to nowhere fast,
     underneath a big blue sky.

Saw visions in a forest deep
     of those once already been;
From each one lost that had been found
     to the last who would soon win.

Somewhere is kept the journey’s end
     as a secret futures share,
And glimpses only do we see
     of lives to which we compare.

Far beyond the snow-capped mountain
     and the narrow valley stream,
Tomorrow’s such a long time gone
     that life’s nothing but a dream.
