To Rewrite Time

burningRain127 May 13th, 2023

Glowing embers, to ashes gray-

you touch me and I’ll float away.

The spotted doe with her young fawn

you look away, and then they’re gone


To fix this mess, to rewrite time..

oh, to restore that which was once yours and mine

willing to sell my soul to turn back this clock

to regain the keys that fit my lock.


In the morning you are a sunlit meadow;

in dusky eve, a garden of shadows.

a woodland cottage off the beaten way

once was lived in, it now decays..


To fix this mess, to rewrite time..

oh to restore that which was yours and mine

willing to sell my soul to turn back this clock

to regain the keys that fit my lock.


The cherry blossoms: blushing, blooming-

leave behind a world so gloomy.

the supernova radiating light

fades to exist, leaves the darkest of nights.


To fix this mess, to rewrite time..

oh to restore that which was yours and mine

willing to sell my soul to turn back this clock

to regain the keys that fit my lock.

@burningRain127- Rain, thank you for sharing these beautifully written words with us. I can feel your heart in these descriptions! I really like the way you blended nature and animals into the longing, almost desperate emotions that you convey here. It is not possible to turn back time, but sometimes we dearly wish that we could!

Thank you for sharing. I really enjoyed reading your poem.
