Music is a Time Machine
away from Present's "known and seen"
Inbetween what is, what's been
the Heart is pulled inside

The faces in the times once shared
the moments you knew someone cared
and "Dared to Dream" was always there
inside the notes applied

You hear that pulling Melody
reminding you and instantly
that Love you hold Eternally
is out from where it hides

No matter where your feet may lead
or driving, still your ears will heed
that poignant seed that grows indeed
along with you it rides

It takes you back to hallowed Time
that certain song, that certain rhyme
the motions memory will mime
the Love you've heard and seen

And all this Life your years may flow
Those aural pictures always show
on endless travels you may go
in Music's Time Machine

This is so true, so many songs attached to memories and so many memories attached to songs. Maybe that is one of mysteries of music. Unique poem, unique perspective.

Thank you my "Light" Maree. My friend Don and I saw a Celine Dion ad for her Decade... album and we both get such a "shot" in the Heart when we hear the Love theme from Titanic, "My Heart Will Go On". He looked over at me and said, "Music is a time machine" ! Well, that was enough to inspire me to write this.
