Time travel

I time travel,

yes I do

Just one way, backwards, into the past

And involuntarily

Swept up in the whirlwind of nostalgia and dropped at its will

in one of the myriad bylanes of memory

And once again

I'm running away from my stagnant monotonous life,

Metaphorically

Breathing in the crisp cold morning breeze

I'm by the sea, 

meditating on the gentle ebbs and flows of the waves

I'm by the bonfire, 

and for so long

that my hair has soaked up the woody smoke

Not walking, I'm hopping

along the road

Not a care in the world

Trying to reach the sky on my swing

Once again

I'm anywhere where I once saw

the world go by

Immersed in its beauty, 

feeling a little more alive

and a lot more grateful

Yes, I time travel

I surely do!
