The Past, Future and Present

The Past, Future and Present

 

The past hears my words from tomorrow.

It listens to guide me back from the water that cleanses my soul.

 

The waters of my future will feed the birds that sing to me now.

To play their music is the key to the future.

 

The key that unlocks my present will open the door that shows nothing.

It is in the nothing when the future shapes the past.

 

What will yours show us?

An intellectually challenging write that certainly does make one stop and think about what in their life shapes their future. We may hold onto the past and not allow the events that traumatize us hold us from moving forward, or remember those that are noteworthy and move on towards the future with the good of life as the compass guiding the journey.

You ask a question in the last line - "what will yours show us?" My past has certainly shaped the present - making positive and negative choices in life part of the present. The future shall surely be determined by that which we may control and that which comes along as just part of life, that of which we have no control. One must accept responsibility for that which we may determine the outcome, and attempt to understand that which we may not. This is part of what the future shall be.

A very intriguing and intellectual write which is worthy of a positive rating!

Thank you so much. I find new topics to write the more I write, and honestly...I am enjoying the heck out of it. This one was more of an analysis of my own life and what it holds.
