Step Back In Time
With the opening of my mail
I instantly took a step back in time.
First there was the old familiar name,
Which hit me like a heart beat out of rhyme.
Then there was the neighbor from the past.
Finally a very old memory from a different clime.

I felt like I was in a time warp;
Were the stars amiss?
How the old memories flowed.
Everything from the unforgettable kiss,
Old love gone a wry,
Youthful days I sometimes miss.

They all wanted to reminisce;
Joyfully recalling the past
One recalled a fond friendship
That even in absence would last.
Another hinted we might have another chance.
Then there was the one that was just a blast.

The exchanges are interesting.
Where do we go from here?
My life now is so different from then.
To one I said I didn�t want to go there.
From another I don�t know what to expect.
Then the voice I couldn�t wait to hear.

I lay in bed wondering if these memories of old
Were here to have meaning and last;
Or were they just passing visitors
Momentarily recalling the past.
Would they again be part of my life?
Or just passing through, way too fast

The memories I recalled in my mind
Like ringing bell chimes
Wondering what it all meant
Trying to sort out the good and bad times
Asking myself what there was to gain
From this step back in time.
