to see the future . we need to learn how to read . the truth of the past
the future appears . as a mystery, except . to those who build it
the knowledge passed down . is the foundation for change . for what is to come
as choices are made . we see our future written . in a smoke filled sky
the flowers briefly . light up the catalpa tree . wile its past lingers
when seen through the lens . of the future, the past seems . nostalgic fiction
hiding in shadows . the future pretends to be . less clear than the past
deep in the stillness . of the moment, the future . casually waits
killing the future . will not repair the present . nor bring back the past
looking to the past . it’s easy to be convinced . we see the future
