Come On A Journey With Me Poem by * Sunprincess *
Come On A Journey With Me
does anyone actually understand
this thing called time?
time leaves me astounded
just trying to understand time
leaves me astonished
and even my research still
leaves me puzzled
we are time travelers
on a special journey
called life
we travel through life
‘tis on a one way road
called time!
but wait,
i say give me a second
but my second
can actually be minutes
i say give me a minute
maybe i mean half an hour
so let’s discuss this in more detail
so please just
give me a second
no, give me a minute
oh no no no
give me an hour
of your precious time!
this is the ultimate question
why can we not go back in time
to the days of the past..
to the days which ran away
to those days which ran so fast
sometimes i wonder is the time
of the past still there
and i wonder
can we go there through the air
are the things in the future
happening now at this precise moment
only in a different dimension
i must ask my favourite poet!
sure this is what physicists say
time is not universal
who would have guessed,
time is personal
sure physicists say gravity slows time
and leaving our gravitational field on earth
places you in a different dimension of time
with all of these different aspects of time
like speed, gravity, location and space
can we ever truly go into the future,
we as one, or as a human race
sure cern has produced an lhc
accelerating protons at the speed of light
and smashing them together
into a cataclysmic event so bright
showing us we need to do the impossible
go faster than the speed of light
for Time is the captain
and he travels alone!
let’s consider Einstein, he is nobody’s fool
he says, every bit of space is here now
so every bit of time is here now, too
the past the present, and the future
are all here, mind blowing stuff
so we all know what this means
continuum means not a word like puff
can make us vanish, time keeps us here
under lock and key
we are time’s prisoner
can’t everyone see!
so now i am Alice in Wonderland
i followed the rabbit down here
straight down the rabbit hole
and we spiralled down and down
then with the Hatter i took a stroll
he cried and i consoled him
for Hatter had killed Time, oh yes he
was sentenced to death, oh yes
he was by the Queen of Hearts,
she wasted no time, or did she
and now he is continuously
serving honey cake and tea,
with the march hare at 6: 00 pm
oh a special place is set for me
with nonsense riddles
oh how lovely, how sublime
and with nonsense poetry
i am continuously lost in time!
What a wonderful treatise on Time, Sunprincess! ! ..... While travelling with you as requested, at what point did you overtake me? I am lagging behind and you are nowhere in sight! ! A 10 comes flying to reach you!
I must agree with Daniel. Be very very proud of this wonderful write! And what an honor to have it read by a class of eager minds! A truly enjoyable read and written so well! Didn't want it to end!
Hi Rachel I used this poem in a Shakespeare class I guest taught for his 450th birth anniversary. I read and discussed four of his sonnets first which express very negative views of TIME - It ages us, destroys our beauty, yada, yada. Then we read your poem with its exciting positive journey through time, and its appreciation of Time's mystery. They loved what you wrote. Several asked to keep their copies of it, but no one asked to keep W.S.'s sonnets! It was the perfect way to close the class. You can be proud of your poem.
certainly, it is not nonsense...but a work that has the power to transport the reader into some other unseen world! ! !
Life, time and science...all at one go! We individuals polar apart and the great scientist Einstein are here.. Life is a journey and time is the parameter for its length as space and time often go entwined in our journey. You have, Rachel told many a thing in a vivid manner and have answered most of the queries yourself. Both you Sunprincess and Ms Valsa George have been overtaking each other perhaps!
