What a Time Machine the Heart Is

What a time machine the heart is
A fragrance an almost familiar face
A simple word a touch a song
Hurling you back into lost corners
A woven discarded memory
A split second a silence a sound
A whisper a ripple a flash a jump back
And it’s a yesterday again
A moment a day a dreamt tomorrow
What a time machine the heart is
A memory waltzing through
Moments that touch deep within
Tears for happiness and lost joys
Moments you would know again
