Romanticizing the Past


Progressing towards the golden ages
To make the future a fairy tale land
A return journey just commenced
Shangri-la waiting at the other end

Walking forward towards the past
Regaining the future through what is lost
What will, should be what was
Remembering tomorrow through imagining yesterday

Romanticizing what we have never witnessed
The promise of a beautiful future in the memory of an unseen past
We walk with hope and vigor and zest
We trace our steps back to see where they led

We hunt, we seek For an ahistorical world
We explore and search for perfection in yesteryears
The bygone time through our eyes a-human an pristine
We continue to look for what we may never find

We toil, we sweat
We thrive, we strife
We stumble, we rise
To reach a future that never was
