Turn Back Time

Finding that place inside
that can uncripple emotions,
that can unstain mind pictures
that are now colored in dark swatches
of never knowing.

Listening to the now
heartens the need
for a yesterday's simplicity
where everyday knowing
was always at hand and quiet mornings
were a sign of contentment.

Sifting through memories,
dogeared corners bent from loving,
boxed in darkness always waiting
to bring forward smiles of when
and tears that can turn back time.

M

Sometimes a peek into memories brings such intense emotions. This is a very touching write.

Love and hugs.

M - I think memories deserve our attention being, as they are, the basis of our experiences. Enjoyed your words!

A fine ending, M. Those would be powerful but welcome tears.

"Listening to the now

[well, that about 'sums it up' for me
in this failing society!]

I am especially fond of:

"Sifting through memories,
dogeared corners bent from loving,
boxed in darkness always waiting
to bring forward smiles of when
and tears that can turn back time."

much applause for this emotive 'penning'!

An inspiring poem with perfection of metaphor and thoughts to live for. Words to take heart by, and I do.

I am particularly fond of - 'Sifting through memories,
dogeared corners bent from loving,'

A wonderful piece! Somehow 'wonderful' seems inadequate.
