Shadows of the Future

It’s been a long day - it is a long night.
I sit here – my mind wanders – I must look a fright.
I had a funny feeling just the other day.
I don’t know how to put it any other way.
I saw myself in a distant place in time – I was searching frantically –
For something I could not find.
I was lost and there was nothing left of me –
Only the shell of who I used to be.
I got the strangest feeling that this is how it will be.
One day I’ll be searching but, there will be no one left to see.
So I’ll take off walking - I won’t know where to go –
I’ll just be searching for anyone I know.
But, I won’t find them for they will all have disappeared.
Maybe if I’m lucky I’ll find them in a different place or another year.
Right then all I’ll be able to do is disappear maybe in the future I can reappear.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
