Yesterday's Magic (English Sonnet) Poem by Cynthia Buhain-baello

When I, in momentary escapade,
Reflect upon forgotten youthful days,
These present ills depart and simply fade,
Memories return in magical ways.

Unfolding like my childhood's vivid dreams
The sounds and colors come alive and flow
To bring again lost faces, scenes it seems,
And with them tender feelings that I know.

Yesterday's magic sparkles in my mind
With songs and voices, fleeting laughter,
This aged frame runs with the thoughts I find
And time erased, makes everything younger.

Each one has a magic door that opens,
Our heart's the key that makes us young again.
