what if there were a way to reverse
rewind
go back to a more
innocent time
would you?

i see people spinning
in spirals
dancing
to the step of
familiar patterns

i just wanna let it all go
i want to,
so badly

i'll take everything to the river,
surging forth
and
drown all my troubles

i see
the little dancers
surrounding me
spiraling around me
sticking to their choreographed lives

i reverse
close my eyes
dance to my beating  heart
rewind
to an ancient time
where my memories
are my only guide

i whispered to my feet:
take me home
