Melodies
A Dance In Time
A time machine magnifying tenderness
when life held out its hands, with loving eyes
Before it showed me just how fickle living is
*
Music fills the gaps here, where the lonely hides
bringing back to life, what fell away
Matchless, when the melody begins to synthesize.
*
A trip through time, reliving moments, come and gone
flashbacks of a world left behind
Reflections of perfection, revealing my sweet, paragon
*
Timeless treasures, glory days, now since, bygone
carefree days, when time was limitless
My days of youth, recaptured, visiting my Avalon
*
Nothing has the power to transform a heart
like rhythms from a scene, kept from the past
Drop the needle in the groove and feel it start
*
Close your eyes and let music, sweep your thoughts away
to a time that soothes the beast hiding inside
That time machine still holds that power today
Turn the volume up relax and press replay

Days gone by, wistful the memories, heart-breaking the absence.
This felt so reassuring, soothing and liberating. Loved your poem!
Who can resist a poem that begins with a time machine, and is all about music? Thank you!
I think we all need a time machine in some way to help us deal with whatever is going on in our lives. Good work.
A beautiful poem.
