Sensing A Better Future

in #poetry7 years ago

This is an original poem, a Steemit exclusive, about the senses we use to turn a dream of our future into a reality. I hope you enjoy.

Sensing A Better Future

The day echoed immortal

Memories casted in clay

Dreams planned or summers

Winter has come to play


Harmony with wondering lips

Stories told with wild eyes

Listening as little kids

Melody personifies the skies


Visions that marvel

Feelings that take root

Hearings that silence

You can taste the truth


What a wondrous world

What a meaningful sound

What a thunderous light

Striking the glorious ground


Oh come, all of you

See what dreams collide

Find your future

From the past you can't hide

Thank you I found it motivational. Just right for a Monday!

I am so glad you liked it. Have a great monday.

In this poem I see an older man (a grandfather? some old friend of the family?) sitting on a comfortable chair in front of the fireplace with a couple or more kids sitting near him soaking up the guy's personal, family, and the country's history as he knows it. Maybe some adults are sitting and talking quietly off to the side, maybe cleaning up after dinner or doing other quiet chores.

The older man sees the past and is passing it on while the kids hear his stories and use the information to dream of the things they want for their future.

Will you please fill in some details about your inspiration for the piece?
