Changes
Looking out my window at the treeline, from past to future
What once was diminished by imbalance and progress
Now lives free and true, a century of uninhibited growth
And flowering — All of the people I loved are gone
Taken by time and circumstance and the promise
Of a better life far away, in the Mega Cities and even beyond Earth
The mistakes of the 20th century have been fixed
Balance between humanity and nature has been restored
My home is a paradise on Earth, and most every change has been good
Yet I can’t help but wish that I could see some of my old friends
Earth Family — Soul mates, especially the ones I dream about
