Time Traveler

I’m trying to travel through time today
Walking over once sacred places
Places only as memories, to some just dreams
Lost somewhere on a Diamond Ave
Red Brick walls haunt this place
Memories dance near
She dances near
But not now,
Somewhere then
And I find myself trying to travel through time today
To get back
To understand
To find her, or at least find those times
Of lush green, quiet neighborhoods, bohemians before their time has come
Life goes on
Here and now
Some of it, the same
But times have changed
New friends
New loves
Challenges met
People lost
With time
And I’ve been searching for that way back
At least I found the place
