Another Time Another Place
Push back the great clocks leavers
With giant Godly hands
Roll over the years
Reverse this tocking tick
And redesign sweet destiny
Find for me
Another fate
In a different time
Where my wanderings
And travelings
Took an uncommon path
To the present
Cut a chunk from my days
And make again younger
Less wise ways
To treat with impetuous
Dreaming
Let me not stay in Europe’s
Home of familiar
Let me instead
Fly the Oceans
To land in America
And there to find the
Mating souls poetry of another
I found in these meanderings
So much later
Give me back the spent seconds
I never noticed
To capture
All this knowing
Lead my feet then quietly
On ponderings
Secret spirit of my lover
Take back my hand
So love burdens your hours
With smiles
And just for the sake
Of love
Fly me
Lead me
Entreat me again
With your sweet destiny
Lift me to America
And by a lake
Of blue grass
Where flutters a fall
Red
In her colour-ed
She waits
Let me find
In another time
And in another face
Sweet destiny
Let me
Find
Her
Celestial travelings of the mind
As visions take us far and wide
To places distant, hard to find
So happy we’re not kept inside
Within our minds we travel far
As poets we traverse the earth
Wandering souls are what we are
A granted right since our own birth
With imagination and talents honed
Our words became transport modes
Using our inflections, tense and tones
We’ve traveled on so many roads
We are voyagers so free to explore
Wandering mind’s galaxy and so much more
