The past is open to us
It requires no machine
For in our memory
We can recall what we’ve seen
Our lives roll out before us
All that’s come a fore
With a smile we can remember
Events we adore
Our loves and fond encounters
To visit in our minds
Requiring just moment
Never leaving them behind
So time travel is a concept
Not made just for science fiction
But a reality to us all
With just a little reflection
Padre
Time travel was a genre of both literature and film that my wife, Dianne enjoyed. She marveled at concept and adored Dr Who, Time Traveller’s Wife, Somewhere in Time, and so many more. I am blessed now by the memory of having shared these with her, and as the poem suggests revisiting the life we had together.
