there's a place
once
greatness, such massiveness
so huge,
i was humbled.
i cried when i saw it
as it was slowly fading
away
piece and peace
laughter
and
love,
the parts of that which all people
seek
now this place
seems like a shadow
almost
invisible,
every
once
in a
while
i see
it out of the corner of my eye,
glinting along with the rays of the sun on a window,
the reflecting beauty in a brilliant Iris
in the strut of my cats (any
of the 5)
in the dancing smoke of the first cigarette of the day
in the danger of life,
in the peace of sleep, as i sleep, i see it
this vast space
now so empty.
there's a place once
now lost
