Take yourself there, Ride a world of unease, Watch through your eyes and Find if you can still see. No lightening bolt loosed Nor a shimmer of gold, Will carry you through The portal of time. Fly out wild horseman, Fly out to the air. Your life is awaiting, Grab on as you go by. Which way do you travel? Three choices have you, The past or tomorrow They both call to your heart. The present awaits but No time for you there. Move curtains of blackness and Press into your seat, The travel has started To find out what you seek. The trip which has taken A breath's moment of time, See the things you created They are part of your mind. Like trees in the Spring, You gave growth and your seed, The life you were living Was sweet and diverse, You found all the flowers To touch and enjoy, The laugh then was easy The world called both of you, The sharing of feelings and Dreams held there no fear. Break from the past It is over and done. Only you know the things That were said from the heart, Leave them there knowing You are only a guest, And pretend not to notice, The light as it fades. Go not there again, It holds no promise to create. Come back where you are I'll await your arrival It's only an instant from time, You cannot touch it Or break it. Eternity passes, Let it have its moment. Travel again Present slowly approaches, You see it flash by and You wonder what happens As you stop once again, In a time yet to be, The point you have reached Has no reference at all, How can it my friend? You haven't lived there quite yet. Visions through fog Of a man's wander through life, No hold has he here But you know by his face Familiar as a mirror Where reflections exist. He has forgotten to smile He shouts of decay, Awakes in the morning Dreams no longer so sweet. The life he once led And the loves he knew there, They fled away once, He knew no more then. His past he has shuttered, No light can come in Past the door he has locked. He watches you watch Though he knows who you are, No begging release No wishing from him, He accepts what is coming But from his reaction You'll know he exists. Come back to the present The times open again, Blackness rides a wave crashing Against portals you seek. I said I would wait here Until you found your way back, There's truth in your story I see you maybe did learn Of the past and tomorrow Where time can't exist. One truly did happen The other perhaps will, Choices are yours to make. Which vision was true you ask, I know only this - I am you my friend Waiting and traveling together, To find a world all our own.
