Falling Back Through


We were falling back through time

Like looking for a magic rhyme

Yet never finding our mercurial word

Like mist that curls about one's thoughts

Once I almost caught the shadow of your name

In a late night reflection

A light shiver of silver in an antique mirror

Almost revealed for detection

Like a treasure, an alchemical image bearer

Like looking into magic rhyme

We were, falling back through time . . .

How do I describe this poem, Chaucer? It is a mystical concotion like of an apothica's brew. But through it there are hints to set your imagination on a course that I suspect was your intention all along. Thank you for sharing. Blessings, Allen
