Too Long Ago

Too long ago,

my mind could take long, tranquil walks

And was filled with hopeful thoughts

Now those days feel distant, vague

Faded, lost, hard to regain.

Too long ago,

Time was a basic commodity.

Now seconds are a luxury,

And hours, priceless.

Too long ago,

I lived, with furry companions in my life,

And friends by my side.

Too long ago.
