[hometext] => This poem is about how if I was happy before a certain event happened, I'd probably not be happy now.
[bodytext] => And I tell myself it was only yesterday Where the mountains covered in green used to lay But I know it’s not yesterday All the time there had flown away I met a boy who knew what birds croon He knew the wind’s words, He knew the story of the moon He had the whole world resting in his hand, Only yesterday And now he’s a playen’ in field of gray With an army of evil things in his way And he doesn’t remember golden lights He doesn’t remember starry-eyed nights But he did only yesterday And I tell myself it was only yesterday Where the mountains covered in green used to lay But I know it’s not yesterday All the time there had flown away I had a friend named Mona, and she had a mile bright beam Knew proverbs of the elders, And would be caught in a dream She had a heart so full, you thought it never could be Only yesterday And now she’s a sleepin’ in a shabby shed Hearing vile voices and thoughts in her head And she don’t remember all the mornings of bliss She don’t remember feeling sunlight’s kiss But she did only yesterday And I tell myself it was only yesterday Where the mountains covered in green used to lay But I know it’s not yesterday All the time there had flown away And I was lost in a purple mountain haze Nights being mornings, weeks being days I had no one to run to when the chill set in Only yesterday And now I remember how the valleys of gold Used to make the seniors younger and the youth old And I shut out the best thing that came my way Only yesterday And I could have known the song birds croon I could’ve known the wind’s words Or the story of the moon I could have had the world resting in the palm of my hand But that would have been gone today And I could have had a mile bright beam Know the proverbs of elders And get caught in a dream I could’ve had a heart so full it couldn’t be But that would have been gone today Only yesterday, was I lost and confused Only yesterday, was I battered and bruised Only yesterday, there was not a pain I hadn’t felt Only yesterday And I tell myself it was only yesterday Where the mountains covered in green used to lay But I know it’s not yesterday All the time there had flown away [comments] => 0 [counter] => 157 [topic] => 31 [informant] => Schnikes13 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 2 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
