Beyond Light Speed
The faster you go
The faster I grow
At speed of light
My world, my home,
All that I’ve known
Takes flight.
But you cannot see
The ages pass by
As you soar away
On a sunbeam.
To see it all,
To visit the universe,
You must let it go
And embrace relativity.
But what of the rest,
Ever expanding?
When faster than light,
Does time take a nap?
Or does it u-turn,
to reminisce on it’s past?
Somewhere out there
Stars move away
Faster than they should,
Faster than light could,
When seen from this window.
What of time there,
‘Round that distant star?
Does dusk become dawn?
Does lunch precede breakfast?
Is afternoon tea served at ten AM?
And do they bid their adieus.
When they walk in?
Are they born to old age,
And do they fear getting young?
Do they leave where they’re headed,
And show up where they’ve been?
Beyond light speed,
So far from us
And so fast to flee,
Do they stare out windows
Through giant glass tubes?
And where we see redshift,
Do they see blue?
