Times Theory of The Second Time Around

In the near future, you will perceive time as you once did.
In the misty mind of a child, but with the intuition of a child.

You will be where time is tangled up, not caught up.
You’ll be held between the big bang and eternity, bewildered.

And the speed limit is infinitely slow.
To know how slow time passes when you’re young will be the sham of it all.

Then you will find the stairway and begin climbing towards Saturn.
It’s a stairway that twists and turns through a fantastical portal.

To be sure, be careful. If you make a mistake, (the wrong step) it will set you back about a decade to do all over again. Then you begin to wonder: Am I dreaming?

The staircase revolves like a top to the fifth power. It is in a different time zone at any one time for each step.

When you’re on the dark side of the spiral you are in the resting zone. You begin to age and time speeds up.
