At the Time Station
- on Albert Einstein's thought experiment about the speed of light

         The colorless green ideas sleep furiously.
                        - Noam Chomsky



Behind the clear glass window,
searching,
were your anxious eyes.

Riding at the speed of light,
the time train you were on
flashed by
the platform of the time station
where I were standing on
patiently waiting
in peace and quiet.

As I felt the air
mixed with your scent
caressing the weary face of mine,
your image
traveling along the beautiful curve of
the trajectory under the influence of red-shift,
instantaneously came into
my eyesight.

Only to leave nothing
more than a mathematical point,
infinitely small,
in the remote dome
of my soul's sky.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

to touch a soul is to implement perhaps directive stimulas for the rest of ones life...

Incredibly powerful write...a pleasure to read...thank you
