Time Traveler Finds God

 

          Time Traveler Finds God

I was moving through time with ease.

Going back in time was such a breeze.

Going forward in time was more difficult.

You couldn’t tell if you would cause a ‘tilt’.

I learned this trick from a shaman.

He said to concentrate & say when.

Think of the date time and place.

Be ready to move with all haste.

Do NOT appear within a wall.

Or any other structure at all.

Make sure it’s clear where you will appear.

Then you can travel without any fear.

My first trip back was short and sweet.

I tripped the bully across the street.

I knew he never saw me coming.

Afterwards, I took off running.

My shaman told me this was not wise.

What would happen if he had died?

I went over the do’s & don’ts & the reasons why

before I gave it one more try.

Soon I was revisiting the good & avoiding the bad.

But, knowing the ending, was kind of sad.

It was like seeing a movie over and over.

Yet, not being able to change things seemed so queer.

Then I said the future is the place for me.

I zipped forward to see what I could see.

First thing I noticed there was no sign of me.

Maybe I died before then. Could that be?

I got scared and returned real fast.

I had finally seen the light at last.

I prayed to God to forgive my sins.

I swore I would never do it again.

That was the end of my time traveling days.

Now my time is filled with praise.

If God had wanted me to time travel,

It would say so in the Bible.

He said there is enough work here and now.

Spread the ‘word’ to others somehow.

You know time is running out.

Being there is what it’s all about.————–R. W. Johnson—–(2013)
