Always Thus

Twas always thus
Upon the grassed bleak knoll
Where time stood still
And all lay barren
Like my life
A never changing landscape
For I would soon depart
But you
Would remain as thus
So others may follow
And ponder their fate
And remember the departed
Who had seen
What you see now
It was just a different time
That did not show on the face
Of the bleak grassed knoll
Twas always thus
But as I ponder
I realise the truth
That you will change
As I have done
And those that follow
Perhaps will see things differently
From you and I
But I
Will forever remember
The way that we were
Twas always thus

different bleak grassed knolls, on a pondering landscape, hold similar changing truths for us all, rob. excellent work, chilled or not.

Always thus we were ever here, and so remain to each ones own ever dear. When comes to the top knolled curve we are all we need and what we deserve.

"Twas always thus", but things change - two opposites in one. Similar to life as it is. We go and make our place for others to stay for a while and then make their place for others. We are here but transient ones, the main thing is to enjoy life to the utmost while we are here.
