Haven't we met before in a previous life?
Where you and I ran through the
fields of wildflowers and
lay in the long tall grass by the lake
Where we fed each other strawberries
as we became intoxicated
with our love for one another

In our world we had peace
we respected nature and
we loved our fellow man
But what has happened to our world now?

Power greed and jealousy seem to
dominate so much of this world
A world that is so consumed with
self satisfaction
vanity
and disrespect

The tenderness and innocence
has been stripped from our young
who now seem void of direction and hope
So much fear and hatred is poisoning
the minds of this new generation

What happened to our sweet innocent age
where lovers walked without fear
through the fields of beauty and tranquility
without a care in the world?

A fantasy, perhaps?  Interesting, the progression of this.

Oh, the days of courting, and picking out the stars in completely innocent bliss. I'm afraid they gave way to moshing and picking out the image of their new tattoo.  If we could only take them back. But then I'm afraid they'd be bored. Not knowing what to do in the past fields of life. I guess we'll just have some private reveries of such a lovely time. Wonderfully written. As always.
Sincerely,
Regina
