Notes About The Poem

Time Tunnel

We set the dials
The men in white
To send our agent 
To the light

Switches click
Red glowing lamps
And needles swing
To show the amps

The clock it winds
As time descends
From present day
To make amends

A tweak to fate
A gentle nudge
When current outcomes
Fail to budge

To set things straight
To fix the error
And save the heart
From night-time terror

If only 
There could be a way
Reversing time
To save the day

Very kind :) if time-travel was possible (apart from wanting to meet Leonardo da Vinci, say) I think we might all have regrets or things we would want to say, or change.. or is it just me?
