Time Warp

According to Einstein, gravity warps the fabric of space. Science fiction writers believe that if space wraps around there might be shortcuts to the more distant parts of the universe, creating something they call, "warp drive." A very unlikely concept that solves many problems of space and time simplistically. Warp drive is probably similar to Jules Verne's firing a bullet with people in it to the moon--impossible--with deadly results.

Time Warp


Somewhere between then and now,

the fabric of space weaves and warps.


A vision of the universe unfolds,

with the sound of a thousand harps.


Space bends in the awesome power of gravity,

warping around red giants and black holes.


It has its many hills and valleys,

steep cliffs and even gentle knolls.


But who knows where space goes,

on its winding warping, merry way.


Bending time and warping rhyme,

getting stranger and stranger every day.


Using the warp drive to cut across,

the many folds of distant time.


Looking into the ageless looking glass,

of the center of the universe's original climb.


Out of nothingness into the dark, dark night,

of billions and billions of speeding points of light.


What wonders still lie in time and space,

only time will tell, if given the guiding grace,


To overcome our fears and travel beyond,

our own fear warped minds to seek and find.


The secrets of time and its dimensions told,

new under its suns, but still, so very old.


Only time, hard work and good fortune will tell.

Everything else is just warped speculation, like hell.

A wondrous, thought provoking poem. You are so masterful with rhyme, Ron.

"Looking into the ageless looking glass...
... What wonders still lie in time and space..."
Well, I'll say, there is no telling of what yet,
to be discovered.
Thanks for sharing, this poem with us, Ron!

I certainly find this thought provoking, Ron. I've always had a pretty vivid imagination and thus, I like science fiction. It seems to me that you are offering a more realistic perspective he. We really do not know much do we? Love and peace,

Ron, this passionate rub of the nib of your pen across the paper stirs every atom of my imagination and asks the questions that excite all adventurous men. Time, time, distance and our individual human limits defined decisively by our mortality. But the collective spirit of imagination we scribe to sum all of the lessons learned throughout time make for an impressive attempt to forge ever onward to explore the vastness of the universe. I am moved with the spirit of this rendering Ron. Thank you. May love and peace be always with you my friend. Jon Michael

An interesting and courageous adventure through time and space. There is some wonderful phrasing in this poem: "new under its suns, but still, so very old." Well done, Ron.

Who knows what the future holds,
as we reach for the stars.
We've been to the moon,
and now we're shooting for Mars.

Your poem brings home the theory that we've barely begun to perceive and know what we don't know. Perhaps that is the first step; accepting the wonder and persuasive argument that only a fool holds to thinking archaic traditions re: space and time are all we're supposed to know. Yes, I too believe there are warp factors to discover, and therein might be a legitimate shortcut to somewhere, you know, a place that open minds stand ready to challenge and perhaps accept.

If you remember your history (especially with regard to space exploration) there were a great many things that were once thought impossible that are now common and almost everyday. Whose to say we won't someday be able to travel thus through the universe?

Well said!

HOW THIS THEORY IS EVALUATED BY EACH INDIVIDUAL DEPENDS ON THEIR CONCEPTUAL BELIEF...THEIR FAITH. AS FOR ME, THIS IS NO SPECULATION BUT TRUTH; WE WILL ADVANCE NO FURTHER THAN GOD WILL PERMIT US TO ADVANCE - 'HE' IS IN TOTAL CONTROL OF EVERYTHING, INCLUDING 'TIME WARP'. THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Great job Ron. Like in biology,where bacteria is just about the reason for everyone down the line that formed, in the cosmos, gravity is the culprit behind everything and we still don't understand it. When I was a kid I would tell a friend if he could travel in a straight line in one direction and I could do the same in the exact opposite direction, we would meet eventually, I got some weird and puzzled looks. My science teachers also got to not wanting to see my hand raised in class, ha! I get a hint of Carl in "the billions and billions". This poem makes me miss Sagan, he would have liked it.

It is impossible for me not to believe that there other "lives" in this awesome universe we find ourselves in. Although we have traveled in space quite frequently, and have, to my knowledge, brought back no living things, I still maintain childishly perhaps (Flash Gordon imprinted on my brain through these many years) that we are are not all alone in this vast space.
