Another Time Another Place

Another Time Another Place

Push back the great clocks leavers
With giant Godly hands
Roll over the years
Reverse this tocking tick
And redesign sweet destiny
Find for me
Another fate
In a different time
Where my wanderings
And travelings
Took an uncommon path
To the present

Cut a chunk from my days
And make again younger
Less wise ways
To treat with impetuous
Dreaming
Let me not stay in Europe’s
Home of familiar
Let me instead
Fly the Oceans
To land in America

And there to find the
Mating souls poetry of another
I found in these meanderings
So much later

Give me back the spent seconds
I never noticed
To capture
All this knowing
Lead my feet then quietly
On ponderings
Secret spirit of my lover

Take back my hand

So love burdens your hours
With smiles
And just for the sake 
Of love
Fly me
Lead me
Entreat me again
With your sweet destiny
Lift me to America
And by a lake
Of blue grass
Where flutters a fall
Red
In her colour-ed
She waits
Let me find
In another time
And in another face
Sweet destiny
Let me

Find

Her

Colin this is so romantic and wonderful in thought. It would be nice to redo everything and have the knowledge that you have in the future brought back to the present. To find that precious woman to meet your every need and live happily ever after. Just pretend lyour in the past and do it now. You like that thought.GBU Colin and thankyou for your kind comment's on my dedication to you and your loving mother Yvonne. Michael
