Turn Back Time
If I step back in time
Way way back before my prime
When the world was all mine
Tiny, insular and undefined,
My wild, unbridled imagination
Turned even the norm into wonder and fascination,
Autumnal stripped trees who were once wooded glades
Suddenly turned to a landscape where aliens had to invade,
Those knotted roots that tripped and trapped,
Made especially so them critters could watch how we'd adapt,
Candy striped deck chairs upturned onto a lawn,
Became my secret hideaway into many a dawn,
Cars with bright lights, whizzing past,
Were huge monster guzzling the landscape after a fast,
Those tiny sparkling stars in the sky
Were angels watching me with their beady eyes,
Gloomy graveyards with the resting dead
Were definitely places were all vampires fed,
And those churches that loomed into the sky
Were their dens where they practise to fly,
My imagination is now in decline
I'm now way way past that sweet childhood time
My world is here, now! and totally defined,
Oh if we could just turn back time !
