Analysis of In the Mind of a Time Traveler
Michael Groover 1969 (Knoxville Tennessee)
Time Traveling
The curiosity of unknown things
A journey to distant lands, at unimaginable speeds
The mind of a traveler, reaches its limits
For with every space, torn apart
A different era reveals secrets unknown
Time becomes warped, for one is able to travel
Between ages, lifetimes, through timelines
An infinity of moments become passed
It can be a beautiful experience
Witnessing the strange, the familiar, and the forgotten
The awe of time travel leaves one speechless
Yet in a moment, one may witness for themselves
The unfathomable tragedies of humankind
Stark moments in history which cannot be erased
The burden of knowledge one holds, By being able to travel through time
The horrifying, the sorrowful, the aspects of life hidden from most
A heavy burden to bear, and keep to oneself
Time travel allows one to experience the joys of all ages
The beautiful landscapes, the warm summer days
The brilliant colours of the sun setting
A moment to decide, what moments one should create
What memories of their own to make and take
To make new memories in an olden place
Time travel, allowing one to stretch their own boundaries
Exploring people, adventures, and mysteries
Time Traveling, the ultimate reality
