The Time Traveler - a Visual Art Poem - POTD
POTD 6th Sept 2019
When the dawn kisses the dew on all thing that grow
and that first melancholy thought, ponderous and low
questions any relevant notions to how Time flows
shattering dreams and purpose as onward it goes
~ Explain the unexplained ~
Scientific theories he questions difficult to comprehend
that Time is without beginning ~ Time has no end
To assume Time travel to the past is absurd
Is to mock quantum physics so wonderfully weird
Once ‘neath a starry sky a frozen memory in Time
When vows were exchanged in a moment sublime
In blatant disregard Time stole what was not IT’S to keep
Tears soothe not a broken heart and regrets bed deep
To take back what was his surely would not be a crime?
If he could but turn back the Hands of time
~ Explain the unexplained ~
The limits to human perception to many are obscure
Though thought becomes lucid in the absence of fear
Belief belies science for this Traveler of might
Impervious to erratic judgement and misguided sight
Whispered words he hears in the drum’s haunting beat
‘Courage Traveler ~ forge your heart in the furnace of heat
integrated with energy ~ enigma of time travel so fleet
‘Carpe Diem’ lest Time pass’ introeo no retreat’
Time waits for no man with The Portal it casts
Dexterity and skill required so the Traveler moves fast
The leap between Present and Beyond mere seconds to last
On to a crystalline galaxy where Time is steadfast
~ Explain the unexplained ~
Encapsulated in Love ~ Time is ever last
Synopsis
I was asked if the young bride died.
No - she did not die, but was merely caught up in time as it
sped away with her, leaving behind her devastated husband.
Refusing to give up his search for her, he set about trying to figure out the complexities of space and time. Conquering his fear threshold,
he ‘jumps’ into the ‘timeless gap’ to be with her.
According to the theory of relativity, the space and time continuum
are not what they appear. Being relative, they do not always function
in a similar fashion and are not experienced in the same way every time.
Time does stand still when we are in pure admiration, in awe, in wonder
and in adoration, where the purest form of love exists. It is in these
moments we experience a different galaxy where indeed time
does stand still.
Like Eternity ~ One moment is like A thousand years and A thousand years is like one moment.
