Time Machine

According to the calendar

We lived through the 80's and 90's

But it seems a blur.

Working toward imagined goals

Striving for the future

One adventure bled into the next event

Until we're here.

I learned I liked travel

And more flavorful food.

I tried new things

And gained more experience.

I practiced my craft

And perfected skills.

The middle years

Of growing and shearching.

Everything seemed urgent

And important to be there.

Until we're here.

Not looking back

Or planning our next move

Just here

To where the past has brought us

And the future picks us up.

Nothing to change

Because it starts here.
