Reflections of the Past

I once was here

But now am not

What once was home

I soon forgot

With Past in Past

And Future sought

You are here now

When I am not

I once was here

But now am gone

The distant Past

Has been so long

With Presence

Sing this ancient song

You sing it now

When I am gone

I once was here

But I did flee

To hide the Past

And symmetry

The Present saves

This mystery:

Future brought hope

Then fled from me
