The kind and stimulating comments of \'Thoughts in Time\' on my poem \'Memories in your Mind\' reminded me of this poem which I wrote back in the beginning of this year.
Mahalo and Thank You to \'Thoughts in Time\', hope you and any other reader enjoy \'Lost in Time\'
There are days when I am completely lost in time
But then, the gentle rhythmic sounds of a chime
Brings me back to myself and the forgotten now
Without knowing when I got here or even how
I assume without question that my reality is real
Or is it like an onion skin you slowly peel
To expose many more enticing levels equally strange
Of other realities, possibilities, similarities, or change
Where time may run backwards as it does in my mind
Where the old are young and the seeing are blind
Living snugly in the future looking forward to the past
Within a cocoon of permanence that will not last
It makes me wonder if it is not better to be lost
Than to cling to our perceived reality no matter the cost
