Future Games

I know I'm not the only one

it echoes through my mind

that ethereal line

because to never be alone

even if

for a while

you forget

its what makes us human

to play those future games

we all live in the today, the pasts, the nows,

the pains, the fears - but its in the future

that we are truly free

in the future we can play games

like children in the yard again

mapping out our deep desires

plans of towering heights

you invent the future that you wanna face

a line that rings like an ace

in the mist of the future there is fear too

but only in the future, the possibility

still lives on

that we can be whatever, whenever, whoever

we want to be, or create, or write and dream

and so I continue, trying my best

to play the same future games as those before me

I'm know I'm not the only one

to spend my life

sitting playing future games

trying to create things that transcend time

and continue on

inspiring others for many generations

after.
