Just heard a song which took me back
Music has something that photos lack
Tunes can return you to a moment
A once happy time... or a low point
Not only can you see the place
You remember the smell... the taste
Old feelings are reawakened
Lover’s kiss... or when forsaken
Although those times have been and gone
They’re kept alive within that song
As though they were a time machine
Now back in mindset... of your teens
Remembering those who’ve long been gone
Forever entwined within that song
A tune when played still makes you cry
Reminiscent... of darker skies
Or maybe a track... makes you smile
When by new love you were beguiled
Evoking... why you fell in love
When “all of time” was not... enough
A Melody... still gives you chills
A lyric your sweet / bitter pill
Potency, that’s ne’er been cancelled
Songs are... powerful memory-capsules
