From then to now


So she dropped from then to now
and landed quite confused
because nothing, nothing, nothing,
conformed to the fit and style
she had been accustomed to. 

She searched amongst modern norms,

between the leaves of every tree

and even scrummaged in the dirt

for signs of all she’d known before.

 

But gone the time of innocence,

the time of love and honesty

and I think the time of grace

simply bowed and walked away.

 

But the stage, of course, filled up again

with agendas, ego, selfishness,

and all the evil perpetrated

one against the other.

 

So lift her up back to the then

where everything fit perfectly

and love and grace and honesty

a known norm for everyone!
