A Beginning

Rating: 5.0


So once upon a
golden age
before the loveliness
that lights the poet’s eye
was lost

there was one day
perhaps the last
when they that sit
sighed silently and said

this is the last time
things will be this way
that which we see today
we truly see

and so we lose
that which we never had

and send our new days
out to love.

What a melancholy tone pervades this piece though in a very subtle manner. These are lines that haunt the reader who can only make vague guesses at what really lies behind the words. Thank you.
