Space and Time

If you find other times, you will find the same spaces

If you stay in the same time, you will find other spaces

If you go towards other spaces, you will find the same time

If you stay in the same space, you will find other times

Author's Note

I drift between understanding and being confused by these four lines.

It's like a pendelum of light and darkness.
I feel it's best to put on your "child mind" when reading. :)

Layered, and thought provoking. In a way, reading this poem opened up a space inside of me, like looking across a vast and unexplored land scape. Who knows why we do such things, moving into spaces to search out more time, or moving into another time to fill our empty spaces. There are a lot of places this poem, with that mellow tone, can take you. That in of itself, was an achievement.

Mind/ opening piece.

Thank you so much! I'm glad it opened unknown times and spaces in your mind. :)

You're right... about the 'child mind' perspective here. This feels a lot like the Tao of Pooh. Maybe even some Ogden Nash... Either way, it is a dizzying and infectious little piece. It's nearly impossible to refrain from rationalising your words, but at the same time (pardon the pun) your poem is enjoyed for the enigma it carries. Did you know that there are more neurons in the heart than the brain? Some things just make sense yet are not so easily explained.

Cool stuff.

Hahaha the Tao of Pooh, yes! I can totally see that. Yes I've always felt there are more nuerons in the heart than the brain. What an interesting review.

I thought it out in terms of relationships, like "other times" are "getting over" or letting go a past loved one, so that you can find that again with someone else you meet (same spaces)
If one stays in the same "time" (the past) they will find other spaces (what surrounds them is the "other" doesn't involve them.

If one goes towards other spaces, (moving on to other people) one will find the same time (the same feeling the "past" gave them)

What exactly are other times? Are you referring to galaxy's or is more a mind shift?

and so on...

I hope its more clear now haha :)

Haha, well lets just say I never would have gotten that and we'll leave it at that. lol

i don't think it is dangerous to think outside the box...because in some time and space frame of mind, it will all make sense....

[Frontier]

:) But I want it to make sense in the here and now, haha
