Michael Wise Poet Rhyme

Once

There once was a time
but that time is done
There once was a song
that yearned to be sung

I once saw a shadow
so slender and fair
It stretched cross my path
now it's no longer there

I once heard a voice
but did not respond
A fragrance forgotten
now calls from beyond

There once was a heart
that gave til it grieved
and treasured the little 
it rarely received

I once felt a warmth
that came with a touch
and also a presence
that haunts me so much

I once had a future
but it didn't last
So now I just wander
around in the past
