The Time Traveler's Lesson

Oh the scenes I've seen...

Through it all I saw

Power sought,

Towers wrought.

Wars were fought.

Spoils caught.

I walked golden halls 

Built by royal laws.

Still behind it all --

A crowned clown,

A human flawed.

And so a kingdom falls.

Bright lights

Dimmed into night.

What now appalls 

Once enthralled.

The dust always settled.

I looked down...

On the ground...

Crushed petals.

Behold the old rusted metal

And medals.

Victory!

Sweet!

But it never beat

History.

After the wins,

A chapter ends.

Days and facts

Faded to black.

It was there

I fell to despair.

But in my somber pall,

My spirit called 

And reminded me to mind the

Timeless truth 

Inside of me.

Hearts beat.

Dark retreats.

Thistles shrivel

And, for a time,

The plot repeats.

Moments! These moments!

They are fragile components

And sometimes opponents.

The superficial 

And artificial --

Not an affordable 

Luxury

Even for one granted 

Immortality.

The forest,

After all,

Lies beyond these

Trees.

Dictionaries Have Binders

Spelling learned.

Letters formed.

Spells are born.

Dots and lines

Aligned can blind 

Bind and confine.

Sinful symbols 

Assembled.

Harmonic 

Demonic

Syllabic charms

Which harm.

N-O

Sum of none.

Portal closed.

C-A-N-T

Subconscious sorcery.

Source of impossibility.

F-E-A-R

Tragic magic.

A dark art.

V-I-R-A-L

The social spell

Summoning Hell.

D-A-M-N

Word with a curse

Built right in.

Letters can be fetters.

So spell something better.

¹ In the beginning 

Before the earth aligned

The Alpha and Ending

Breathed life into lines

Still sage for today

³ A system of maximum wisdom - -

Maxims and aphorisms (and then some)

⁴ In the dark of night 

A spark of light

⁵ Comfort when we come short

Resort when effort falls short

⁶ Promise conferred upon us

Solace enters to calm us

⁷ Helm when this realm overwhelms 

Anchor when the danger swells 

⁸ Encouragement and nourishment 

In courage just because of it

⁹ The morass harassing the masses - -

Who can get through without a passage?

¹⁰ The focused mixture of scriptures :

A potent potion and elixir 

¹¹ Trolls need to scroll 

Souls need goals 

Unroll The Scroll 

When goals take a toll

¹² Stressed to reflect on what to expect next.

Excuse me, I believe I've received a Text . . .

Every Little Thing

On this plane of Space and Time

Can one afford to remain blind?

No human knows it all.

Just know: dominos fall.

The boomerang returns

Maneuvering its turn.

Acts always come back.

Futures hang on this fact.

How many mini and mega events

Have we unknowingly brushed up against?

Eventuality sets the tone --

Even events aren't set in stone.

Outcomes are hiding.

As yet it's undecided.

Chances are branches 

Extending and bending

Into potentially infinite 

Endings and circumstances.

Decisions are magicians 

Conjuring dimensions.

This and that tactic

Matches any magic.

Certain words spoken

Something done (or nothing) --

Circles surely broken

Portals invisibly opened.

A "theory" that's eerie 

And elusive:

The future is fluid 

And inconclusive.

Cause and Effect?

Cause an effect.

The Select Effect:

Selections affect effects.

Inside this factory of factors

Decide that nothing doesn't matter.

The smallest detail and minute --

God and the devil both in it.

(E)very (L)ittle (T)hing ...

Oh what it brings.

Speed Heals

Destination: DESTINY 

Yesterday is history 

Wishin' is fiction 

Mission: IGNITION 

Start your engine!

Envision the intention 

Rev and

Accelerate

Heaven

Watches and waits

Warp speed ahead

Success is the address 

Tires on fire

Wheels to the wire

Break all the limits

It's a race to the finish

Futuristic fast

The past on blast

Back is a blur

Toward is the word

Failure is so much clearer 

When in the rear-view mirror 

Rims ride on rhythm 

Moments foment momentum 

One thing is given:

Livin' must be driven

Got seed?

God sees

Hallelujah to ya ...

GODSPEED!
