    A Cold Future

    I'm looking far into a future
    A future beyond my life
    Where the creator's creations
    reflect his own fears of death


    In an effort to leave behind
    something timeless, something flawless
    boundries were crossed
    before they were discovered


    Can we lust for an image
    that never truly exists
    Can we feel compassion for a likeness
    without ever receiving it back

    Do we define progress
    by how far we've moved
    from love

    "Where the creators, creations reflect his own fear of death" Makes me wonder if the death the creator fears is to no longer be believed in. the last stanza made the entire write for me. How do we define our progress? 10 and into my favs old friend,

    There is a depth here I want to know more about. This piece, on it's own, is timeless... What if I had more insight as to the creator, the image, the likeness...? I am so intrigued by this piece that I want more. Do you think you may ever add a sequel? 10 from me and waiting... MSV

    The reality is never as magnificent as the fantasy, and never lives up to the anticipation. We all know this going in but, still, when the moment of realization comes we're disappointed.

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.
