~I~

Belong
To the times past
Simpler yet elegant
Acknowledging with nod of head
Of Times

Of Times
When words rang true
Families connected
Traveling only in the minds
Distance

Distance
Walls made of glass
Others built of mortar
Breaking through takes so much effort
Lost Cause

Lost Cause
In a time warp
Wishing to travel back
Knowing only one direction
Open

Open
Body, mind, heart, soul,
To Waves of future cresting
Calmly washed ashore to nowhere
Belong

I

Be well

I like this! I'll admit I've never seen this style before, but I'm just a unschooled writer so to speak. Very good message here too, thanks.
