Time In Retrograde
On the edge of November sighs
the end of October steps aside,
the roses no longer in bloom
as they did in the warmth of June;
come the winter of our descent
into timeless age well spent
as memories overtake our souls and hearts
remembering what drew us close then set us apart;
Slip away old grudges and gilded mistakes purveyed
forget the sin and errors once made
return to love, acceptance for the asking
of reunions and reconnections unmasking
the illusions long ago of right and wrong decisions
when time slips into retrograde.
