From out of the past came the thundering beat of ... word origins?

Time Travel and the Writer's Lament

I looked into the worm hole
Across the span of time
And there stood I
In coat and tie
Young and in my prime.
But that was long ago
I thought
When I was daring
Brave and strong
And keen of eye
And full of life
Yes, right where
I belong.
I’ll have to take
A leap of faith
To cross that swirling
Divide
To find within
What might have been
What time has not
Supplied.
A trial run
Is what I need
I grabbed a nearby
Book
And tossed it in
And watched it
Spin
The worm hole
Sang and
Shook.
Out from the past
I stood aghast
A sight I shan’t
Forget
‘Twas a string of
Letters A to Z
It was the bleeping
Alphabet.

Book and man undone. When I look through the worm hole I see a young woman with long red hair confidently wearing a silver embroidered mini dress and silver stilletos! Sometimes I wish I could go back. Well penned and truly enjoyed.

what if...when we dream we are actually traveling
& when we wake up we are then traveling back

Jamais vu

Déjà vu

Dammit! I thought you would love to see yourself in diapers!

Actually, this is really a good poem using cosmic theory to express your thoughts about the passage of time.

Amen! Great writing, Edward...I guess every writer feels this way...at least from time to time...

This is just beautiful, you tossed me right into this :-) and those final two liines brought a huge grin on my face.
