Music Train

by Alison McKenzie

This music is a train
And I have the fare to ride!
Take me back there
For just a breath.
The sweetest déjà vu,
And there we are,
Sipping champaign -
Electric brush of your fingertips;
God, but you move me;
The notes swirling into the mix,
Etching the moment in reverie.
A place revisited
On the music train.
Take me back.
Take me back.

Author's Note: My memory of native american flutes with violins, champaign and seafood brunch at a resort John and I visited. Seems like a lifetime ago. There was such sweetness on the fringes...the kind of sweet that makes me cry.

What a charming and flowing poem to capture such a beautiful and enchanting memory, I think the poem itself sings and dances, overflowing with color and I find myself wanting to whistle or hum...it's like nostalgia found you in the perfect moment for writing, and in this sweet little piece is a heart full of laughter and smiles, happy times.

I enjoyed this. Music touches places where nothing else can go. It is such an emotional roller coast ride when the right chord is touched.

Yes, on the beautiful memory train with all those beautiful associations over flowing.This is full of music, so enchanting.
