I , future

In reverent silence, I stand alone 

Staring through the window closed. 

The world is not what it once was, 

 Forget what man thinks he knows 

 For every step he takes ahead 

He seems to fall two behind... 

For all the Truth he thinks he sees 

He lives in ignorance, eyes blind 

 The existence that I hold so dear 

Through my fingers like sand it flows- 

Empty, barren, and desolate, 

No beauty of a rose 

 I wipe a tear, as I turn away 

There is not much left to see. 

But, now, I don't exist at all 

You have taken that from me 

 The room stands empty now 

Outside the sky is cloudless, blue 

As the waters recede, once again 

I await life anew    

This is dedicated to the Future. May you exist.
