Uncertainty

just a thought...deliberately short

 

Unable to pretend...

 

I can't say who I will become tomorrow,

for this moment is all I have....

 

All any of us has...

We never had a choice.

 

Blood breeds blood

Don't hold on too tight

 

Dream...

But the moment is now

 

And now has cunningly passed...

Forever.

 

Stop squeezing!

 

Are your fields colorful?

Or mere nightmares of gray?

My oh my what interesting questions you put forth... do we use the past to help guide our future or should the past be left behind so it don't hold us back... I think each situation is different and we must decide which is right... as humans we might error but if we do our best the colors of life will always be bright.

A very philosophical piece and certainly something we should all think about.

A poetic thought at that. You ahve some of the most colorful thoughts. hee hee. the last part:

Are your fields colorful?
Or mere nightmares of gray?

are two sentences that stay glued to my mind as i finished reading. IN a way, a relationshjip is like running into vast fields, running free and open, welcoming change. And then.....we are a little apprehensive because we can see colorful fieleds, or gray, with nightmar3es that may haunt us for years. I have been there. I loved this poem. thanks.

What a refreshingly different piece of prose poetry. It made me think.

I really like the line "And now has cunningly passed...".

I'll certainly be reading some more of your work.

great piece of writing!

I love this poem, there's just something whimsical, sad but kind of inspiring...and since it took me several times to type inspiring I'm leaving off there lol. Great poem!

As of light, shades of gray. Thoughtful and thought-provoking. Well crafted. Like the "color" injection to lighten it up a bit even if the question was a tough one to consider. Good work.

These lines weigh heavy on me. For tomorrow is promised to no one. The 'here and now' is what we should uphold and make good use of. A deeply profound poem etched in simplicity. Well done.

A short but thought-provoking write, Apollonia!

It made me think about how we views ourselves. Also, it reminds the reader of the value of "living for the moment" so to speak. After all, our time in this world is so short.

The last two lines are a kind of question, really. They seem to be asking the reader, if he/she handles life positively rather than taking it as a series of "nightmares of grey". Food for thought, perhaps?

"Stop squeezing!". Not quite sure what this means! Is it an American expression? It could be a way of advising the reader to stop stressing? Or even, to put an end to those excessive demands which we sometimes make in life?

Another good poem, Apollonia. Looking forward to more!
