If you're not going to pay attention

To the Space-Time Continuum

Than neither shall I

Who cares about rules?

We can travel through the galaxies

Fly hundreds of miles past the stars

Touch the rays of the sunlight

Feel the cold of the darkest planet shade

We can travel through time

Looking for eras long since gone

And those yet to come

We can meet the dinosaurs

Have tea with Agatha Christie

Learn all about William Shakespeare

Even discover something new in history

We can have a picnic on the moon

Or risk our lives surfing a black hole

Listening to the quiet of the blindingly big space

Gaze at all of it's beauty

Fall on our backs, watching it all

Simply grow, live, flourish and fall around us

So much beauty

So much wonder

So much light

So, really. Let's be honest.

If you're not going to pay attention

To the Space-Time Continuum

Than neither shall I.

Let's go see time and space

Live a little through the ages

And see all the beauty the world has to offer.

After all, life is so very, very short.

Unless...of course

You have a time machine.
