Daydreaming….

Vivian Zems's avatarSmell The Coffee

If I had a super power
It would be to reverse time
I would rewind every hour
to moments I can devour
that-to me would be sublime

I’d go back to a place
to press the reset button
I’d have no need to retrace
or find memories to erase
if I pressed the reset button

I dream of this super power
Of loved ones long gone
their presence like scented flowers
where time is just ours
when the sun with strength-shone
