Time Travel

I began to write this poem anticipating a poetry class while I was flying home after driving to San Francisco with my oldest daughter who was moving in with her boyfriend.  I modified it for a class and read it at an art opening featuring time pieces and just modified it again following an experience I had this past weekend, keeping my commitment to have fun and conquer all of my fears!

Time Travel

As I have traveled through time

On the back of a Harley

Going 100 MPH

In my car for hours, days and nights

From one ocean

Across plains, through mountains

To the next

Over the Pacific in a plane

To the Isles of Hawaii

And over the Atlantic in the air

To see the garden of the Queen

Then off to castles hidden in the deep woods of Germany

And always, sadly, back home

I must have been a gypsy in another life

I imagine

Even though I haven’t been through every time zone

My soul has

On this planet

And many others

Throughout the galaxies

Throughout time
