From a time so long ago

Missing image
See through my eyes
gaze at the wonder before me
a land, far away
from a time long ago

It is here where I go
when I venture past
to a time I “feel”
a time I hold dear

Cast in shadows it seemed
for so very long
now so vivid and bright
like that of a romantic song

~~~~~~~~~~

I feel the cool breeze
as it fills my very soul
in this land that I love
from so long ago

I see this place before me
the ones I love, smile
taking my hand
asking me to stay a while

A young maiden I am
once more, as then
I am home within this place
please let it all begin again

~~~~~~~~~~

Peace takes over
a serenity few ever know
as I lay upon soft emerald green grass
in my home from long ago

I have made my peace
with the world I once knew
and here is where I choose to stay
this place I call home

Forget the one you knew
for she has not yet come
she is placed in history
from a time so long ago

~Elizabeth~~

    This moves well, it almost floats away, and all from the clever use of language and form. Deceptively simple but so evocative, I liked the way you use elements of repetition and tell a story within the poem. Very effective descriptive detail throughout, nice imagery and reflective tone, this really mellowed me out. Thanks for sharing, nice to be mellow every once in a while. Cheers.

    to me it could be like a place that you go to in your mind just to get away from it all..like a beach or a rainforest..very well done.

    Nice piece. Always love looking back at yesterday for ideas on how to make tomorrow better. You've certainly painted a beautiful piece here.

    It is nice to remember the old days or to day dream of what could be.
