time travel

 
time travel
 
 
and should it happen that one
day i find myself far far
away and in another place
and time
and you
have not come
too
 
should it happen that i find
myself alone upon
some unknown shore
(not earth,
unborn
unnamed
waiting to become)
 
even here my prayers
and wonder at creation
all my questions and
ideas about god
remain unanswered still
same confusion
different world
 
and should you be on your way
staggered time travel
in case you heard
me longing for you
asking for you
crying for you
adrift in the heavens
 
let us say in this question
(everything unknown and
yet) something for carving in stone
i'll cover every surface with
poems to you
mysterious planet
uncharted tribute
 
until one day the universe will lay me
to rest upon that
foreign shore
atoms ushered into dust though
even in final death
something lingers
waiting
hoping
 
when you alight from your
vessel, answering me
whispers of ancient
wind across your face
carved words fading
into solitary memory
i was here
