In Your Arms

I listened to the soft refrain
 of an aching country song 
carrying me back in time again
 to images of you and me now gone;
if only time could go back
 allow us to recognize our mistakes
but here we are living only in flashbacks
 of the paths, we made to life's heartbreaks.
If only time could let us return
 reveal this fading memory in bold alarms
with these lessons now well learned
and you can hold me close, forever in your arms.

DM, Must agree with Heidi on this poem. I too long for time to retrace the days. The days of wine & roses. -Richard
