The Future Is Now

in shady glens the wild iris bloom 
like jewels strewn on dark velvet

in shadows the forest keeps her secrets
life abounds in its silence 
the fawn waits patiently

leaves rustled in the wind-early man walked softly

close your eyes and dream
of places untouched by man
the future is now



Barbara Gorelick
written for Constance La France and her contest
4-in-1

Phyllis Babcock Date: 2/27/2011 9:14:00 AM The beautiful places that are yet untouched by man eventually will become only a dream. I watched a documentary of plastic found in the untouched depth of the ocean. Very descriptive and I could close my eyes and walk the path. God Bless Phyl Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 2/27/2011 7:51:00 AM I continue to dream of places untouched by man, dear LNC. Would have preferred to live in the time of early man. This is eloquent and powerful. Goes to my faves and I think it will be a winner. I won't have time to write for this contest, but did try John Freeman's and Carol's because I could write them quickly. I am out of town until Wednesday, but wanted to say hi. Will call you after I'm home. Love you and your poetry, Carolyn Login to Reply
