Time travel with me

And it is,

now, from this distance,

I see because there are no straight lines,

all the things I think of myself are

mixed with could have beens,

blended so well even a painter couldn’t tell

how many colors and shades made this one.

I’m like looking at a rose, petals so bright

even your eyes feel like they vibrate.

And I laughed for what seemed like hours

because all of this is real.
