There is an echo from within the chambers of my mind
From a day out of the past, a soothing song so kind
A place that I used to dwell but seldom see or go
A roomful of idealistic visions that once helped me grow
But over time as I did run this race that we call life
And moved through time and space with children and a wife
I closed this sentimental door and locked the music in
Walked away went down the hall forgetting where I’d been
Detached from whom I had once been forgetting who I was
I took up someone else’s views ideals ideas and cause
I left my sense of identity within that room that day
And all my self-identity I left to go away
But as the years went sailing by my memories erased
I heard something familiar that couldn’t quite be placed
I journeyed down the corridors within my dusty mind
And heard a sound out of my past a soothing song of kind
Awakened sleeping memories a long familiar friend
I found the door so old and worn a place to come and mend
I knew this place from were I came this knotted bolted door
Around my neck I felt a key and recalled what it was for
I took the key from ‘round my neck and shoved it in the lock
But as I turned the squeaky latch my hand began to rock
Instantly my mind was filled with old familiar thoughts
I knew this place and saw my self the good as well as not
I went inside this room of mine a place to be with me
And as I walked up to the wall that I could plainly see
Upon there was a mirror that I peered into that day
I saw an old familiar friend who now was old and grey
So then I took a look around behold what did I see
Myself a younger form I had but just how could that be?
So then the younger me spun ‘round and motioned to me now
How is it that I’d grown so old this I just can’t allow
I said I didn’t know and that it happened over time
And then I answered to my self to “stay and hear my rhyme”
I stayed what seemed a thousand years reliving with my “twin”
But then it was my time to leave to go back where I’d been
And as I walked around the room the mirror I did see
But what I saw it startled me
A younger form of me.
