The Future
A poem about the future and who can see it
The future is seen
with an intuition
of a whispering
heart.
The future is
a moment
a psychic
can emanate
through
tarot cards
tea leaves
a Greek or Turkish
coffee cup
gazing into a picture
of haunting wonder.
The future is
a gift
a sight
a feeling
no one
can explain.
It shifts through
the mind
easy to find.
The future
can be seen
in a writer's words
wonderous
and unknown.
Nothing can explain
how a writer
can envision
something so vain.
The future
is clear
to a person
in pain.
The poorness
of a body
so worn
so torn
as the soul
vanishes through time.
The future
is clear
a vision
of sight
no other
can see.
It harrows
the mind.
A worthy picture
erupts
whether
it's happy
or not.
