 You Were My Future

When you were born to me, I said

You were my future that I would

Watch grow and love until I'm dead.

And when I died, I could feel good,

Knowing that you would carry on,

A lot like me in many ways,

And remember when I was gone,

All our many wonderful days.

But then came sad day you did die,

A truth so hard be reconciled

Within me, as I wonder why

This Mom had to outlive her child.

Whatever future I have, be

Emptier without you with me.

Is it just a destiny for

A few powerful humankind

Bring elements into world war,

Unleashed by few of crazy mind?

Many times over all to kill

That if wars with fire must be fought,

Let avatar attack, defend,

So no live victims burn a lot.

Not be destroyed in war with fire.

Upon my back, feeling serene,

With the sun warmth, in water cool,

Soft breezes ripple 'twixt and 'tween

My wishful desires coming yet,

Of youthful joy falling in love,

Suspended in the here and now.

Off the water as though somehow

Into ecstasy I be bound.

All my serenity does stop.

Gaggle of geese on their way home,

Now crossing bridge across the creek.

Goose leader, wanting none to roam

Into the water, dip to seek,

Honks out an order to goose pack,

Like the cars in a passing train,

Waddle in step and keep on track.

Of course, some of the geese complain,

Wanting to do what they ought not,

Jump into the creek for a swim.

But no such act, just train of thought,

With water wishing just a whim.

Last in the train, Slowpoke, caboose,

Archeologist, fancy word

Invaded my tomb, and I stirred.

Entering openings within

To later learn my curse, no myth,

As vengeful inside this doomed lot,

I slowly began to decay

Until all just rotted away.
