In time's elusive dance, we yearn to soar,
Through time's uncertain path, we seek to explore.
A tapestry of choices, tangled and intertwined,
The past and future, in a symphony combined.

A portal to the past, a gateway to the morrow,
Yet tampering with the timeline breeds sorrow.
With every ripple made, a cost we can't foresee,
The consequences arise, beyond what we decree.

Do we mend broken fragments, heal the past's scar?
Or shatter destiny's course, rewriting afar?
The threads of fate entangled, a delicate art,
A single change can tear the fabric apart.

What if we save loved ones from untimely demise,
But unleash unforeseen storms in unseen skies?
A paradoxical waltz, a precarious scheme,
As we chase fleeting dreams through time's elusive stream.

Would we find a utopia in altered days?
Or usher chaos forth in untamed arrays?
For every act, an echo, a resonating chime,
In the labyrinth of time, the consequences climb.

As we traverse the corridors of history's rhyme,
The burden of choices echoes through time.
Through every leap and bound, we must weigh,
The wisdom to preserve or the courage to sway.

So let us tread with caution, eyes wide and clear,
For time's mysteries are profound and severe.
With each step, let wisdom and humility entwine,
For in time travel's dance, our destiny we define.
