Once

Once

Once I sparkled like diamonds
But now I'm as dull as coal

Once my spirit danced with dragons
But now my spirit rides alone

Tides and time
Moonrise and Moonset

Stars calling me home
Flesh hanging on bone

Once I chartered ships
On journeys unknown

Now I sail in circles
In the place I call home

Once I climbed
The mountains of my mind

Now I lie in hollows
In graven times

The formatting is beautiful. Each couplet tells its own story. It was a quick read, like the words flowed out of a faucet. Nice work.Ā
