Once were heroes
once knew flight
the heady air of freedom
the giddy brightness of the sun.
Once there was a glimmer
and then we lost.
There was a brief ambition
drowned in nice but empty words.
First we had coherence, the fullness, the whole
but we heeded it not
we mocked
thinking the circle is easily closed once again.
Then we were left with snippets
odd scraps to fight over
all but forgot.
There was once love.
Now its waxen wings melted
and its feet ground to dust.
Have to confess that I find this a touch obscure and see only the date as either pro or con Vday, so I would not have left a footprint on first visiting this 🙂
But now you have two.
Bless you – thanks!
