The Time Machine

Lightning bugs dance
Crickets sing
As I sit here in the front porch
In my swing
It's here I feel at home
Even though I sit alone
My thoughts may wander
As the difference between reality
And dreams I ponder
Most times I feel greatly misunderstood
And there's a light I need to follow
I know I should
I feel as I have lost my way
And somehow I've gotten caught up
In the struggle with day to day
It's here I sit and will regain the strength
To push ahead and not look back
At the wasteless efforts
I've so often spent
Realizing what truly matters
Is not the past
Or even what lies ahead
But right here right now
I will try to regain my sights
And focus on what is right
I may have been mislead
But many this road have tread
I will let go
But I may never forget
For a time machine doesn't exist
I don't know that I'd even wipe away
What you had to say
It may not have been real
But still it made me feel
And that ran deep with me
Although maybe you couldn't see
I don't let down my guard with anyone
But with you I felt at home
