Timelessness Is To Being

My past already lived, my unknown future is the only place to travel- beyond paradoxes or predictions, I could stand in a world beyond a human life span, There to begin again, a quest for knowing. New languages, new laws, new temptations or delights. I cannot say how I will travel there, whether I step blindly into a parallel universe or use velocity- based time dilation. My imagination seems willing but I feel stuck- in theories and Presentism. How could there be any greater mysteries or beauty to be discovered? I think then of being childless. Somehow dreams for some new Utopia are cancelled and I awake and sleeping hold hands with solitude. Suzanne Delaney May 17th. For Dave's Imagination Contest.

Thanks Monteray: It came from my heart that ending. No one battled as hard as we did and lost -to have children. Now we are content it wasn't meant to be. Hugs, suZ
