Looking back on simpler moments,
people and places once held highly
that matter so little now
Changes and choices amid the chaos
bear no nostalgic filters
just memories of times before
believed to be so difficult
yet easier than those we’d find further down
the paths our lives would lead
Now we reflect not in reverence
or deference to what came previous
but in awe and mourning of
the folly we were facing
in ever thinking things would hinge
so precariously on foundations built
entirely of that which we didn’t understand
