Notes About The Poem
Tilt phone horizontal for complete first line

Time Traveler

each step floats above the earth as time stops
                          to give us hope

                                gravity   
                              seeks to
                                crush

I for one am glad that we can time travel. How boring it would be to always live on earth when the celestial realm is so much more exciting. Thank you for stopping by and gracing my page with your beautiful heart. Have a blessed day , Always, Pixie

Ah yes! That old gravity--even pushed the hair from my head to the insides of my nose and ears where it is hardly needed in such tangled abundance:) Well said. You captured, in so few words, that moment in time where one truly feels loftily suspended---victoriously immortal! Another great write, James!
