Time Travel

Looking back

Stepping into the past

Experiencing that which was missed

The new pieces fit

Evidence lost

Inside the struggle for impossible gains

From losses along the way

Simplified strength of character

Homogenized existence

All experiences perceiving

No elation or tragedy

Nothingness being

Into a loop dirges immortality

Fractaling into a stairwell

Spiraling unto itself

Continuous overtures

Repetitious relief

Needed with each entry

Life caught and lost

Around dizzying possibilities

No end to infinite misery

Except that which fosters

False fears endocrine

For the sickle and cloak

Veil and guard martyred paths

Breaking through the cycles

Ending immortality to allow

Chance for change

Free-willing an original solution

Death offers salvation

For immortals locked

Life struggle

Question caught

Releases graciously

Grateful to leave

And experience the only unknown

Left to question the other side

Unveiled at last

Exclaimed solemnly

In a dying breath
