There Was A Time

(From time to time a bit of mischievous verse)

There was a time

when there wasn’t

although I can’t remember

when it was.

When, then and now,

to be, a thing un-thought.

All present and accounted for

in an array of life compressed

knowing that once

it was expanse.

Occasionally we can touch

that link in life

when our prattling succumbs

to the Truth of the present

and we realize, perhaps,

that we are what was.

And is.

And shall remain.

History is composed of the actions of the present, remembered after a while.  People are pretty much the same in any time or place, therefore it’s of value to study the past and learn the evolution of thought.  The Gnome suggested that I think back as far as I could.  I did.  This was the result.
