Foresight/Being Future-Minded
Poetry, prose, whatever format is fine. Keep it G-Rated though because I'll be sharing my favorite with one of my Honors College classes. More than 15 words but less than 1,000. (Sorry for the small word maximum.) Ends Oct. 25. Thank you, and I look forward to your entries!!
Reality Dream or Dream Reality
It’s difficult to live in a world where I can dwell on the past and live in the future. I chase that dream I had, blind to the world around me. One day, I trip, and I fall. The dust swirls up into the air, forming a cloud of nebulous, gritty sightlessness, but I already cannot see. I feel like a child, crying out, alone, at nothing, like waking from a dream. It isn’t real. Not yet. But I tend to forget that. And it hurts almost as much as being rejected in the present. I love my gift of future sight, but every time I look in the stars, it seems I lose a bit of myself, a bit of today, a bit of now. Sometimes I just need to walk alone, I guess. Keep my eyes on the future.
Keep walking.
Keep walking.
I’ll make it.
