The Secret of Time

THE SECRET OF TIME

It’s the curve of the rail
It’s the bend in the road
It’s the unlifted veil 
It’s the way yet unstrode

That are drawing me on
To pursue the concealed
On a path whither, yon
To what may be revealed

Though there’s joy to be felt
Friends, locations provide
In the known places dwelt
Giving warmth deep inside

I embrace the unknown 
On this bare blessed field
While the seeds may been sown
We await future’s yield

As we seek to know all
Of what is and shall be
Driven on by the call
Of deep curiosity

In the cycle of life 
That must come to a close
Truth revealed? end of strife?
The great questions are posed

As our story is told
With each passing clock chime
Could it be this unfold
Is the secret of time?

Einstein is said to have an insight into relativity on a train as it went through a tunnel-- my own experience with a sort of premonition some years ago convinced me that linear time is an illusion--as quantum theory posits--that past, present and future exists as 'one'--I think this is one of your best, Geoff
