Future Passed
I am a brown man winding through the alleys of Bombay
I am a little girl slap,slap slapping through the wet beach sand
I am an acorn
I am Life!
and as I live,I write my story
not good,not bad,just the story of my life
now I hear you galloping up behind me
nostrils flaring
chest heaving
your great steed
nudges my shoulder
I write faster
ahead I sense the tattered shreds
of chronicles
of yore
black and crimson
confetti
blowing madly in the wind
choking my open throat
dying on the words
they wrote
for me,
for you
running now
I twist to pass the time worn scroll
behind
to find the slot that fits it in your mind
no postage save my hopes and all my dreams
for new life that is bursting at the seams
here take the pen with feathers of it's own
it flys forever ,
with you or alone
now lift me up and set me to the rear
for you must tell Life's story now my dear.
