- the Future -

Days of the year will soon be history
      Winter is in sleep buds of spring are on hold
      Memories of joy and sorrow in your soul
      Many tears. . . warm hugs
      New possibilities and opportunities waiting for you
      Much laughter and joy
      Recent storms and new rainbow will come
      Something is lost something is won
      It's your choice
      The sun may not always shine
      Both roses and cactus needs water
      It is now and the future that apply

Very well done Anne-Lise!! Your words certainly evoke images of what most people experience at one time or another in their lives. You are right -- it is the "Now" and the "Future" that apply. People dwell on the Past at times, but what is past is past and the time cycle moves on. I plan to read many more of your poems. You have a very immense collection of them. Again, I enjoyed your poem on "The Future." Cheers, Gary

anne lise: "recent storms and new rainbow come!" I love it! What I find here at Poetry Soup is kindness, the rainbow I have been searching for most of my life. I feel glad inside after reading this poem. I am all about getting back to a new innocence born out of experience. Good old Blake! Happiest of New Year! I am no longer far away from Norway! barbaraboyd
