Yesterday

Yesterday Yesterday: I saw a glimpse of yesterday All the flood plain was a waterway My eyes took in bare half sunken trees Troubles stirred the wispy misty breeze Seemed then as I were taken back in time So I should witness that primeval clime Far into some long forgotten past Away from here I travelled eons vast Now I see It all becomes clear to me Looks are never what they seem As I journey, through my dream Though my years are rolling by They’re never still, they seem to fly Here today, but on the morrow gone To some long distant place anon Stay the time I will be moving on Oh, how I am, but a grain of dust I lived and loved on this Earthly crust Believe someone of this future clay In images a gift, they will say Yesterday: I saw a glimpse of yesterday

Well, I see from the other comments that you are a prodigal son. Welcome back and congratulations on the win! I really liked the rhyme and I think it goes well with the mood of the song.

Yes Roy, I have been out for a while, looked in and saw your contest and couldn't resist giving it a go. I had crossed the flood plain here that very morning and started to get an idea and your contest sealed it. Thank you for the placement. Never dreampt it would do so well. Take care, Richard

Hi Skat, thanks for the comment, I'm getting back in but slowly, I've been so busy the last month. Yeah I know you have the cookie jar, but every time I get near it you pull it further away lol. Take care, Richard
