Music Memory

Running errands on a hot day,
a song comes on the car radio
With just a few opening notes,
I am transported back in time

The familiar notes and words
wrap around me and take me back
to a time and place that was simpler
when I was much younger

As I come back to the present, 
I realized that my mind had gone
back in time, yet I was still 
in my car at a traffic light.
