Gone Poem by Barry Middleton

Gone



the ecstasies have evaporated
a youthful fog on a spring morning

even now it's hard to reckon
how so much optimism vanishes

nuance by definition happens slowly
as the sun climbs higher and higher

the bright colors of the peace rally
have faded and our hope is jaded

girls with hair parted in the middle
making love and hating only war

all gone along with Woodstock
and more tragically a lost dream
