CHASING TIME



Unstoppable, regression impossible
I push against its ticking, trying re-creation
of moments long dissolved in haze of longing
for a current flow, illusory minutes
quickly extinguished, shifting realities,
smashing into unknown mysteries.

Simultaneous existence I cannot fathom
merging instances from long ago with those
not yet evolved. Relativity perplexes truths
changing as minds perceive diverging eons
telescopic travel of uncharted dimensions
obscured by undiscovered voids.

Stubbornly contradicting gods, science
senses, irrationally persisting
thoughts strive. Imagination's fuel infuses goals
unattainable, rewinding clocks to moments unlived,
dreams unreal. I paste life back on time confusing
past and future, forgetting now, hoping all is relative.

I've been chasing time, trying to relive some things that were impossible for me for the last six years. Einstein said all time exists simultaneously. I don't grasp that but still I am trying to catch up on some lost play time. I'm having fun.
