Once there was a time
The sun's shadows shone bright
Helios took the blues, the sky to prime
Come the gentle womb of night
Maternal caresses filled with love
Bursting from each bough new life
A hawk metamorphosed into a dove
A child's game, transfigured all strife
In our nakedness we were proud
Living in Eden's hope with no shame
We had no need for a shroud
No feeling of gilt or blame
Primal water, eroded frowns to smiles
Amity permeated all people
We were young and naive to wiles
And all dreams were believable
With the weight of falling sand
Maturity ripened into a crime
What was beautiful fell out of hand
Once there was a time
