Cecelia Hopkins-Drewer Poet Quatrain

Rejuvenation

The power of time travel lies
In the laughter of your eyes.
It lifts me up and takes me away
Ten years ago today.

The demons in the past
Fade pale and fast,
As we re-enter childhood
To settle in the land of ‘could’.

But I cry out in fear
For sixteen again dear,
I have a heart to give
And ten hard years to live.

Darren White April 1, 2017 at 7:46 AM That is a poem I can relate to, so much you said in these few lines that are so much poetry the same time... Plus what Chris said. And thank you for reading my poems :)
