It Seemed Simple, Then




¬¬¬¬¬Seemed So Simple, Then.¬¬¬¬¬      
    As I sit and wonder on a day of rain:
  • Why my life, by me framed in pain and in sorrow;
  • And of my youth which was lost for truth. That, the cost.
  • And for this day to end or just to go away,
  • and I wish to flee in tomorrow.
  • Why are the starts we make; in bliss.
  • The ignorance of youth; a myth.   Yet we go, or we stay   in what, though real   was, "no big deal"   just a day. It seemed so easy, and so simple then. As youth and in our youth: so young.
  • We; all alone with all our friends, with all our songs yet sung. So full of life, of trust.
  • We; so simple when we know we must go from home, from youth.
  • Seeking truth. While we, alone; were so serious, full to brim with life. Though not simple times we had.
  • Some days so full with strife, seemed so bad. Yet we knew we could. Yes, and our friends who understood, and our life--
it was so very simple then. ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬THC¬¬¬¬¬¬¬
