A TIME TRAVELER <br />I am a time traveler, traveling in space <br />and time, <br />Through my past, present and future, - <br />Leaving everything behind! <br />But when I travel to my past, time freezes up <br />in little frames, <br />As if it would forever last, though time never <br />remains the same! <br />I stop to view those picture frames of my <br />memories, <br />Those snapshots of congealed time, - <br />Of dream like mysteries! <br /> <br />I am a time traveler, when I project into <br />future years, <br />I do so with some trepidation, with my hopes <br />and fears! <br />For should I get devoured by the vortex of those <br />future years, <br />My traveling will end, as I stand to disappear; <br />Without getting time, to shed a single tear! <br /> <br />I am a time traveler, impatient with my present, <br />As this present keeps slipping by, for which I <br />hardly lament! <br />For like the true time traveler, I want to break <br />the shackles of time, <br />Traveling through blue infinity, where there <br />shall be no time! <br /> <br />Like a dedicated time traveler let me travel <br />with my soul, <br />Freed from past, present, and future tenses, - <br />traveling totally uncontrolled! <br />For then I shall become an eternal traveler, <br />Traveling beyond all space and time; <br />With nirvana for my soul, - shattering the <br />bondage of time! <br /> <br /> -Raj Nandy <br /> New Delhi <br /> 01 Dec 08<br /><br />RAJ NANDY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-time-traveller/
