Past And Future

 

Looking out in front of me yet nothing looks clear,                                                                                                                                                       walking on toward it all yet it moves as I get near                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   I feel as if its lingering a few steps ahead                                                                                                                                                               What awaits me there is what I seem to dread.                                                                                              Thinking of turning back I  take a look behind,                                                                                                                                                             A bottle full of misery is all I seem to find                                                                                                Looking in the distance up ahead of me                                                                                                                                                                    I realize what it is, its my  future I see                                                                                                                                                            What awaits me there at this time I dont know,                                                                                                                                                                                          So I begin my journey forward carefully taking it slow.                                                                                                                                                              Then all at once it comes to me finally at last,                                                                                                                                                                   That bottle full of misery appears to be my past.

I liked this. It is well worded, the imagery was clear and strong as were the emotions. It was a easy read. Thank you for sharing it. Blessed Be. Tig

Thank you and I hope you enjoy the rest of my writing also.

When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
