Stories Still To Be

Stories Still To Be

A Poem by Footprints al carbon

The story is a worthy thing to seek,
     with every plot twist you get a rush;
Being blinded by every darkened bend,
     teasing truth out in a soothing hush.

The weather of time itself is forecasted
     eagerly by the prophets of each side;
Like each season, tomorrow becomes expected,
     just as the turning of the tide.

To stroll is to remember when,
     the feeling of first steps taken;
When excitement became elation,
     before achievement was forsaken.

Loss is a feast for entropy's arrow,
     a nothing gained which can't be costed;
Every sensation with a beginning,
     becomes one in time exhausted.

Look around with your lids peeled back,
     every blunder creates something free;
And now to think above these lies,
     with no expectation of still to be.
