"The Grooves Of Time"

Like photographs
Music connects us
To pieces of the past
Connected by the
Cobwebs of time
Our conciseness
Travels down
Individual vibrations
The sounds
Notes and chords
Maintain phase
And we are
Transported
To moments
In our own
Life times.

1966 "Tomorrow Never Knows" By The Beatles
I wasn't born yet, but part of
me feels like it was.

1980 "Imagine" by John Lennon
Why is my mum crying?

1993 "Today" by Smashing Pumpkins
I am back in collage looking
At the shape of her fantastic skull.

1994 "Get Off" by Prince
.....That's another story.

2006 "American Prayer By Jim Morrison
I met you and you met me.

2008 "Us And Them" By Pink Floyd
Simpsons maternity unit, Edinburgh
The scene of my greatest triumph
The birth of our son.

2013 "Superstar" by Sonic Youth
I think of her.

The grooves of the record
Become the groves of time
They represent years
The needle
Of the turn table
Becomes my compass
Direct me through
Layers of sound
And stormy weather
To far off places.
Destination
Homeward bound.
