Once...

Clouds move upward
Lifting gray above blue
Rippling time through tenuous life
Opening gates to gold
Sun's caress ever ready
Bestowing courage to weather cold doubts

Once...

Children regain trust
Know adults care not for prurient reward
Or exploitation of blameless ignorance
But understand the child within never goes away
Realizes pain knows not exclusivity
But resides as one with all
Forever a reality
Doing onto others as we
Do onto ourselves

Once...

Humans accept their micro-cephalic intelligence
Within a universe evolving its exponential magic
Rendering galaxies of superior essence
For man to but stand in awe
Of unknown revelations

Once...

Birth is questioned
Not as a biological process
But an equation buried in the matrix of knowledge
Beyond our meager means
Awaiting discovery by acumen
Cosmic time will reveal
In time
In time

Once...

Existence probes beyond the obvious
Allowing time and space to reveal
The Second Coming, or the Third, or Forth

Once...

Innocence returns
Awakening will continue
