Unwind Past, Present Touch
It took a hand of time
to lead me back
then home again.
I only have to look inside
and I see what was here,
in front of me
the fireplace becomes
the setting and the scene
I see with eyes of now,
feelings that were before
intense, now glowing still
no matter how much time between
the moments I was me
now and then.
Unwinding seconds comes close
to standing in the way of stars
meeting yourself
in past remembrance,
lessons learned since,
regrets folded,
discarded,
each second that goes back
doesn’t hurt spirit
or the love.
I live yesterday
in a heartbeat.
The one I was is still here,
this room,
holds soul
young, old,
starting again,
ending a path,
stepping in ocean,
floating on rivers of chance,
where nothing is promised forever,
but love resides
in flowers and the leaves
that travel to unite hearts searching
a way of spirit in the purple
horizon of hope to be touched,
inside a dream that steps
hopeful
into this day.
