Time Travel
where were you when I was 20
and reckless
my heart and soul
and legs
spread open wide
for all to see the depth of me
where were you when I was 30
and apprehensive
my mind and heart
and legs
closed to him
because he didn’t understand the depth of me
where were you when I was 40
and fearful
my soul and heart
and arms
padlocked to all
because I had been wounded to my very core
you are here when I am 44
and exhausted
my mind and heart
and soul
only wanting to
find that one man with the untarnished key
