Repast Perfect

We were green once

such bewildered clarity

gone in an instant

brilliant

shocking celerity

 

We were everything once

vast and revered

crushed in a hammer stroke

jarring

outlook uncleared

 

We were rapid once

insolent and hectic

slowed with regret

gravity

plagued as a skeptic

 

We were beauty once

free and unmarred

riddled by battle

brutal

endlessly scarred

 

We were a promise once

solemn with caprice

broken and remade

failing

as each hour we cease
