Time Traveler
Maybe being here
We’re really just
Passing through
Someone else’s lineage
On our way
To a timeline
Created by our ancestors
All those years back
From days and months
Passed and past
Maybe it’s just linear
Yet parallel all at once
Like a dimensional prism
Maybe that’s why
We can’t ever seem
To complete our side
Of the Rubik’s cube
Perhaphs this is why
All my feels have feelings
That run deeper
Than I can’t handle some days
When words are hard
Or time spins on edge
Or when we wake up
Looking in the mirror
Not recognizing the reflection
Its our ancestors staring back
Having a visit with us
In the present
While we’ve aged ten years
We may never know that part.
All I can hope for
All my heart knows
For absolutely certain
Is that I will find you
In every single lifetime
That I may wake up in
This force in my chest
Knows no limits for you,
For each of them.
We’ll get there, and back to here
I am sure of it.

Absolutely adore that last stanza, I like how it builds to that strong last line.
Thank you so much! I hope everyone finds that kind of love worth hoping to get back to….
