So Long Ago
It seems like it was just yesterday;
but I know; that just isn’t so;
it was another time; just like today;
but it seems so long ago.
Time is something; I don’t understand;
it’s merely a rhythmic tic and tock;
a mysterious rhythm; beyond my command;
lives; governed by a demonic clock.
Who granted time such demonic control;
currently accepted worldwide;
choreographing the heartbeat of the soul;
compelling the meek to hide?
Often, we wish, the world would stand still;
and simply stop spinning around;
is motion a part of the Master’s will;
much like sight and sound?
God simply said; Let there be light;
he didn’t demand the earth dance;
there’s a reason for both day and night;
day, for work; night for romance.
Did God give us the longevity of years;
knowing we’d become old and gray;
while; watching with laughter and tears;
demanding we’d simply obey?
Everything seems like it was just yesterday;
but we know; that it just isn’t so;
it was another lifetime; just like today;
but it all seems so long ago.
