Magic in the Memory

Magic is everywhere, all around you.  It's in the sound of the wind blowing through the trees on a summer's day. It's in the things you can touch, smell and feel around you.
Where is your magic place.
The place that blurs the edges of reality and turns it to whatever you imagination can conjure.
Lately for me the magic has been in the music.  I listen to the music I grew up with, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, Crosby, Stills, Nash, music from the 70's.  Even though 64 summers have come and gone for me, I hear this music and I am there again, 20 some years young and I can feel what I felt then.  I see the trends today called boho or gypsy and that takes me back to the same place as the music.  This is how I dressed but it was called hippie then.  Whatever the name I have always loved that look and I still love it today.  Its free and wild and different and that's what I have always been. Never one to follow the rules and even my home has its own style.
I was listening to the Led Zeppelin song "Going to California" the other day and it brought back feeling and memories so strong I wrote the following...

Words float through my mind and whisper  remember, remember

music tickles my memory and brings back days of sunshine and nights of forever
golden child living in a time with change that came with the rising of the sun
Smiles and love in the eyes that met yours, words floated like smoke, not really there. 

Gods of that time sang for our pleasure, bringing new meaning that life is forever

Long flowing hair touched your pillow and flew in the wind with flowers and songs that are etched In time

Remember. Remember
The hair is still long and music still brings pleasure, the memories come back of nights of forever

A face in the mirror asks where have you gone, golden child of yesterday
My heart answers back I am here, and still  the same, time has taken the beauty of youth away
My mind of today of says yes to what I see and my heart  says it doesn’t matter. Be what you are

meant to be.  

 

Some gods of that time are still alive today and their mirror tells the same story
We are stardust, we are golden and ours hearts will always shine
So play the music that takes you back to peace,  love and a beautiful place in time


Hope the magic takes you to a good place.
