My New Future

My New Future

I want a new future

not a one day

someday

far away future

But a today

right here and now

reach out and touch with my hand future

A future that arrives

like the next in-taken breath

of cool air

Like the bulb that

sat under ground for the necessary time

sprouted

and set the bed

which now has only to unfold

Death has done

and will do

what death does

But my future

does not argue with death

My future opens its arms

and invites m

to dance
