We are two
one dimensional
time travellers
and the loneliest thing
is the state of out of sync
Always in the past
at a different pace
Think to the future
living in the past
the moment I type this
the moment’s gone fast
before pen is to paper
finger to key
the moment is lost
etched in eternity
When your hand is warm
in the palm of my own
the moments of past
will be presently known
Two time travelers on
a singular road
are for one past moment
no longer alone
So hold on to my hand
just one moment more
and then in the present
we’ll be as before
which is right now, the past
and our future in store
Three dimensions in one
when two travelers hold on
to one another.
Laurie is an Iowa born, Wisconsin raised, Texan with a BS in Social Work and 13 years experience as a worship leader. She and her husband work together in a small country Texas church where he is the youth and electronics guy and she takes care of the music, discipling teens through song and loving every second of it. Her life-long goal is to reflect at least a few facets of God’s beauty and forgiveness through poetry and song. Her life song is gratitude for forgiveness given freely at the Cross. Her life’s co-labor of love, alongside her husband, is raising their 11 year old son, who is all potential and equally all over the place.
