We searched so long for futures buried deep within our past;
we knew that there were answers to the end now coming fast.
We wandered worlds both far and wide with vistas long unseen;
we walked upon those places where the old ones once had been.
Some glimpses there did tantalise and show that it was real;
a world where a thriving humanity lived on an even keel.
So many wandered off from there and I was one of these;
back into this ‘reality’, a place of lives of numbing ease.
I hope one day that I will grow again to who I was back there
and relearn the beauty of the truth of a life that’s lived with care.
