Time Machine

TIME MACHINE We always try to build a TARDIS, in thinking we would look the smartest. But then, who's time would we travel in, with a choice for dimensional spin. A fragrance can take us back in time, or a perfect shade, or taste of lime. Our famed music is a time machine, in compositions from Bach to Queen. We recognize how to bring time to a halt, by following our bliss in things we exalt. New experiences will let us foresee, advancing in time with our visions to be. The Hubble is a magical eye on time, to take the photographs of our one verse rhyme. A brief look backwards beginning now to then, or from nothing to something and back again. Our future is such addictive dope, we read in tea leaves or horoscope. We expect we are aware with ESP, and predict in life what's meant to be. We're back in time with old photographs, that mark pasts, in graphic epitaphs. A sound will transport us to a place, with one vibration we've moved in space. We future trek with our imaginations, because we see forward with our creations. In our minds eye, we consider and admire, with envisioned futures of our hearts desire. By TARDIS, DeLorean, or a Quantum Leap, Tesseract, CERN, and our Visions in sleep. Through a Wormhole or the traces of a déjà vu, the past and the future, are present with you.

You have shared so many ways we are able to transport ourselves through time in this wonderful poem Edlynn. I am seeing so many things change on this Earth, rather it be throught Cern with the Mandela Effect or other strange things, it boggles the mind. I wrote a poem about it called Mandela Effect. This is not the Earth I remember. I can relate so well. xxoo

Crazy, right? Just read an article about pinning down the pentaquark & how they seem to arrive three at a time. Their charges when they come this way are a mystery. I will stop by and read Mandela E. I love recommendations back & forth to each other as we can channel our interests & use it as a springboard on a shared consciousness that we don’t even know we are sharing. Thanks so much for reading Time Machine & taking the time to respond.

I have been feeling the darkest of blues this month Janece & your review this evening REALLY gave me heart and picked me up a bit! Just when I felt there isn't a single word I could add to this experience we call life. Thanks for lifting me with such encouragement just when I felt: what's the point really. To be chosen as one worthy of a read among 100 is probably the best prize I've ever won.

Ah thank you dearest friend and poet! It seemed the time to write about our fascination with time travel when we don't realize that our brains ARE the time machines! I'm, of course delighted if you found anything in this experiment!

LOVE THIS EXPERIMENT AND THE CREATIVITY OF ITS AUTHOR. I suspect that you can take any subject and write a great poem on it.. Fate, time and our souls all interlocked in a crushing stream into infinity.. A7 Another one added to my fav list

Thank you Robert! I think your comments have just lifted me in a day I felt rather invisible or too transparent to do more than hide. You made me smile!

Thanks! I'm glad you allowed me to play with syllables. You know it was NOT easy! Sometimes one pays for strange ideas. Thanks JAN for stopping in. I need to catch up with all the work here (problems with older family) so I can have a marathon read of all my Souper friends!
