Dancing with Memories

Dancing with Memories

My favorite song is playing again,

a music that shifts back years,

to faces and places that bring me home,

to the days we had no fears.

I travel back to be with you,

by lyrics of alluring tether

evenings filled with American Pie,

in the days we lived forever.

There was nothing then, we couldn’t do,

when all of us got together,

the world at large our modeling clay,

was ours to mold and weather.

Those roads, exciting, we traveled far,

our energy fast and strong,

those are the days, I remember well,

that come back to me in song.

Thoughts a brim with wine and roses,

eternal promises meant to keep,

the times of smiling faces,

and youthful days without defeat.

I see you there, shining bright,

defying time to end,

old memories made I embrace,

when this song plays once again

About this Poem: Music is a most giving experience that also has the power to transcend time. Songs can take us on a trip as if we just stepped into a conscious time machine where we go back to moments long ago to see faces and places while feeling the ambience of the time…moments that seem like yesterday.

Don McLean – American Pie
