Maybe we’ll dream of a world together
in sleep of unending solitude
of a day when the morning sun awakens us
together on the high plains above a home
drifting away into the mist to live or die
soon to fall beyond the horizon anyway
Maybe we’ll dream of return on still roads
winding through a haunted woodland
that speaks to us with the voices of its dead
shadows following along behind
hoping to catch whatever we may drop
and secret it away to unknowable depths
Maybe we’ll dream in two worlds apart
one carried away by rivers in the sky
the other chasing falling stars
cast out beyond a storm on the horizon
that final curtain drawn between our hearts
before we could know that the past had become memory

Is there an ancient civilization you’d like to be able to see at its prime? I think it would be cool to witness the Viking Age firsthand. Maybe the Aztecs at their height of power…

The Aztecs, Vikings and Native American…my great, great, great (?) grandmother was a Native American Souix Indian and I would very much love to see how and where she lived (I’ve also got Viking blood in me so that would be awesome!! as well)

Wow, seeing your ancestors would be an awesome experience I’m sure. Wonder what they would say if they could see the world now!

Love this, rather wistful. As leaving my own neighborhood is a stressful challenge, I don’t think I’d enjoy the trek to an ancient civilization 🙂

Thank you! And that’s fair. The distant past probably wouldn’t agree with most of us if we really did go there. Lack of medicine and such…

I think ancient Egypt holds the most appeal, looking at former years. But I’m too much in favour of easy hot and cold running water, so if I were to be living ‘back then’ I’d want to be extremely wealthy … not a slave for sure.
