Have you ever wondered
what would happen
if time could physically bend?
give you chance
give you a glance
to see someone
you otherwise
wouldn’t ever meet again?
If you were given
that chance
to bend its waves
to a motion between to and fro
What exactly would you do?
Where exactly would you go?
Would you erase your mistakes
Would you travel to a place
you would have otherwise
not seen yourself
in the next twenty years?
Or would you leave
it alone
stay right where
you are
and leave your curiosity
to wander around
as it did before.
But there’s something
that time
does to the human mind
when it comes to
tree of knowledge...
because why waste
efforts to predict
when you can flip a switch
and change your actions
depending on the
scenes you’ve already
observed in your life’s script?

And this is what’s currently
passing through
his mind,
as he reaches towards
the faux cylinder’s light
that continues to hypnotically spin
and to quite eerily draw him in
he’s alone
and needs a way out
a way to know
if his life
will ever sort itself out,
and he can’t wait another day
when the answers lie
in front of him,
predicting he’ll stay
predicting he’ll choose
to know now,
instead of delay...
He hasn’t a clue that
if he leaves
and continues down
his awkward path,
within minutes
he’ll hear her voice
Her bell-like laugh
Today is his day and
she’s very near
but he’s beaten and tired.
Its been too long,
he’s given up.
And he leaves in a cloud
of fire.
---
She runs toward the
glow
her curiosity overtaking fear
she could have sworn
she saw a man...
who looked familiar
but maybe the forest had tricked
her with its shadows
There was no one here.
