You Were There When...

Oct 23, 2021

You were there when deep emerald became coral flame and the living dropped dead.

You were there when nights forgot to end and shimmering lights gleamed off ice.

You were there when death was overcome, and life beget life unending.

You were there when the sun reigned supreme, heat and laughter abound.

You were there when a mother watched her son play army in his imagination.

You were there when a father welcomed his soldier home from overseas.

You were there when a boy met a girl and they talked with smiling eyes.

You were there when a girl needed comfort, alone with tears and a blue-lit screen.

You were there when thousands upon thousands of lines of text were produced.

You were there when hard working people needed the boost.

You were there when civilizations were constructed centuries ago.

You were there when artists sought inspiration to be the next Van Gogh.

You were there when the mornings were “Good” and when they were, well, “Monday”.

You were there when life had turned upside down and so, too, needed the frown.

You were there when the shadows reached the darkest recesses of the mind.

You were there when the guiding light caused evil to shy away in fright.

You were there when there was a great union.

You were there when there was a final divide.

You were there when happiness sang.

You were there when consciousness became.

You were there when you saw the truth.

You were there when you were you.
