Is It Time?
by Rachel Hoyt
Is it time for time to bend to our will?
Time that travel offered a new thrill?
Time that we risk a continuum rift?
Time that predictions were a proven gift?
Time that our dreams become reality?
Time that we really see all we could see?
Time that the past is not just the past?
Time that the world be infinitely vast?

I believe many think time travel would be fun,
but didn't know it is a real pursuit for some.
Time gets the bum wrapper for everything. It is after all simply a measurement of dimension as it relates events. Time is the underdog and we're the bullies. ....yours truly time traveler Mr. 8:53 AM
ReplyDeleteTrue... I suppose we are all time travelers in the broadest sense.

As time and space intertwine
ReplyDeleteWe watch gravity dance
outcomes rollin' on chance
as the components of the universe
diverge and combine
Their source, their origin
ever elude our mind
Moments to memories then they're gone
As our ship travels about the stars, its journey long
we leave the trail of our wake
and the echo of our song
Moments in time, left behind
Not only past, but distant
The slowest and the sweetest
gone in an instant.
Slipping ever farther out of reach
Memories of moments formed, unique to each
When searching for the machine to beam us through time
we should remember to try the flux capacitor in our mind
to flip the switch, lean back, and close our eyes.
Nice rhyme! I just happened to write a little rhyme with the subject being time earlier in the week!
I like the video, and it got me thinking that the artist was in fact working with a time machine. However this particular time machine could only take the man, as he wished, forward in time (or could only consume time, if it were a commodity).
Man being what he is, I really hope time travel is never possible, but it would be interesting to witness humanity gaining an understanding of the interplay between time, gravity, and observers.
The video is a trailer for a documentary. There are two men building time machines - one wants to see the future, the other wants to change the past. I find both thoughts a bit worrisome too. I think there are plenty of people who would abuse the privilege if they had the chance... Biff Tannen style.
DeleteI like your rhyme too. Funny we wrote on the same theme. Thanks for visiting.
