Back In Time Poem by Dave Alan Walker

Back In Time

Rating: 4.7


As I travel
back in time
to where
it all began

I hear
People talking
of a ghostly figure
right near
where I am

I turn around
to see
but all there is, is me

Then someone
walks straight
Through me
and says
Someones
watching over me

I love the poem, reads quite simple, but contains a deep theory inside.

I love this poem as we can gain insight into simultaneity and freedom from the limitations of time for all the three times are in the same entity in sunyata.Truth is to be found in the fourth dimension beyond space and time and if we would know it, we must free ourselves from the limitations.Time after all is quite relative - today is the yesterday of tomorrow and is also the tomorrow of yesterday.In sunyata meditation, yesterday has no going and tomorrow has no coming. The three times all become the same and besides knowing well the present, one may easily have foresight into the future or cause the events of the distant past to be remembered in the present.Well written, reflecting religious teachings.

To me good inciteful poetry is not always written in long verse or many stanzas. You my friend pour so much into your style and it leaves the reader with thoughts to think as many of your fellow poets commented. Nicely done! ! ! J. L.

This reminds me of how I have had things happen to me that made no sense in regard to the laws of time, space, physics..but I can't deny them because they did happen to me, and to disregard them would mean I would have to totally not believe anything I saw or heard or detected with my physical senses. This makes me much more open to other people's odd experiences; I tend to believe now rather than question. Nice job here.
