In Living Moments

In Living Moments

Peaceful thoughts descend on me,

from a time so long ago,

flowing from the well of life, 

that carries my heart and soul. 

Thoughts imbued with energy,

from the days that passed us by, 

in days we lived forever, 

when empathy touched the sky. 

We sang then of our dealings, 

the good things that we’d do, 

by acting on our feelings, 

to build the world anew. 

A world so full and living, 

inspirations made of life, 

empathic souls so giving, 

influence without the strife. 

Slowly time’s consumed us all, 

and left our oaths forsaken, 

trapped in forests blind and dense, 

with hopes they reawaken. 

Chance has surely rolled on by, 

responsibilities past, 

pulling down our different roads, 

the distance long and vast. 

Life is moving quicker now, 

out of phase with everything, 

lost in a maze of anyhow, 

and tied to tangent things. 

Wish I had a time machine, 

to take me to the past, 

when spoken words had meaning, 

and everything made to last.
