At Time

I look back at time,
Where everything seemed fine,
Not a lot of crime
Protest signs
Children that died
Rape and murder
Mass shootings
Or war

I frown at the lost memory

Of peaceful days
Of the calm melodies
Where no one
Felt empty
The days where You can guarantee

I look back at a time
When you were mine
But it was lost
In all the other ideas
Flooding my mind
I'm losing thoughts
As the days grow shorter
As my hair turns lighter
My decisions are harder

I look back at a time
When my heart wasn't stone
And everything was gold
But like all things
Gold tarnishes
And it's gone
With the wind, it is

I look back at a time
Where peace of mind
Was easy to find
When everyone loved
Respected
Had dignity for one another
But then I realize

It hasn't happened
That time
Was just a wish
My imagination
Is making everything
Look surreal
Peace hasn't come

But I ask
I ask of you
Dear
Help that time come
Help love
