Insoluble Paradox Of Travel Through Time

 



As I pen these thoughts,

is the weight of history shifting

like the swaying of the pines?


If time is a construct,

an invention of my mind, attempting

to grasp the meaning of nothing and infinity,


can a new experience point backward in time,

giving fresh meaning to a past event,

like sunrise illuminating the shadows?


If that event changes my heart

with a new perspective,

isn’t that time travel—rewriting my story?


Can a different view today

influence my choices tomorrow,

like daffodils nudging away the chill of winter?


If I follow a different path,

shaped by a changed heart,

is it the past that alters the future?


Is it possible that by writing,

and by you reading this poem,

the path of our lives has already shifted?
