The Time Machine
(I was inspired by the movie "The Time Machine", to write this piece)
For days, weeks, and months,
he became a hermit of science,
working on a device
to return to his beloved, to return
things as they were four months,
and a fortnight ago; two lovers
embracing a romantic walk together,
in a snowing evening.
Memories of her smile and good heart
gave him courage to create a device
that would make him disappear
from the present,
and meet her in the past.
He depended upon physics to alter
time and fate; to return his joy
and meaning once again…..
