Out There On Another Horizon : Narrative Poetry

The future is another horizon ,

in a place where I cannot be.

I think of the generations yet to come

All stranded beyond the sea .

The faces of our little children ,

are staring back everywhere I look,

I almost hear them calling out

Hey give back all of the things that you took .

Time  in a bottle disappears ,
beneath sinking sands in an open sea.

We can recapture some of it

and build a bridge to where one day we'll be .

Live and love today all the promises 

that tomorrow one day we'll share ,

A free world where hope and love ,

are the most important in the future .

So I'll send a message to a future time 

from the place where time stands still.

For thoughts are free to travel,

to another horizon over the hill .
