Hour 20, "Renaissance Fair..."

"Renaissance Fair..."

 

The Garb …hell yeah, ‘tis the Garb

and the "steel' of yesteryear

outside,

inside

heart and whim.

 

It means a different world

earned respect and civility.

Rule of Law and responsibility.

Making with pride

Living in the moment

existing beyond our sad norms

and reaching for echoes of freedom.

 

We wander the times

‘til the new "thens" become our "nows"

and yes, we DO miss the smiles we leave behind

…as we exit the parking lots.
