There Was A Time Poem by lola cesini

There was at time
When thoughts that sprang
Within my mind were for my own pleasure
When lovely visions
Stayed inside me as things to treasure

Then came a time
When someone asked
If I would share what I found as wonder
When my reflections
Were sought out visions for someone to ponder

Followed a time
When the phone would ring
And my heart would sing with joyous laughter
When speaking my thoughts
And sharing my dreams were for ever after

Too soon a time
When silence greeted
My words of wisdom that once sparked imagination
When ears now listened
Only because of polite obligation

Now is a time
When the beauty around me
Seems more enhanced when shared with others
When I seek out another
To tell those dreams I still have left over

There was a time
But that was then
And this is now.
