Things To Be Poem by Spiritwind Wood

Things To Be

Rating: 5.0


I hear the sound of thunder
roll across a blue sky
seen the strike's of lightning
above smokey water
as I lay on some distant shore
watching my soul die
in time never ending
where there is nothing I feel

I found myself some-where
I have never been before
just an empty space
some place buried in my mind
where there was no darkness
the world didn't shine with light

I felt no sadness with this emptiness
that lives inside of me I can't find
there was no happiness
my tears only fell at night
love was long out of sight

And as I walked closer to me
in a dream never clear
I saw of things to be
watching it all disappear
in a world full of hate and greed
a time this world is going to bleed
with all that we deceive

As I ride on a white spirit horse
that came down to take me home
I see nothing in this future real
nature will still take her course
all will be gone with what you believe
nothing left here to grieve
I'm not here anymore
I find myself alone

Then I woke from this place
there was no smile on any face
everything lost without a trace
and these were the things to be

..........beautifully penned...wonder if this was an actual dream or only imagination.. ...anyway I love the imagery, we both can ride together, you ride the white spirit horse and I will ride the white unicorn...ha ha ★ As I ride on a white spirit horse that came down to take me home

grammaticism aside-regarding the below comment.. this is a powerful piece. A rush of emotion-truly heartfelt.

Great poem about a dream of the future. It was an enjoyable poem to read. a few errors-'their was no'-should be 'there was no' (which you used over & over) 'that live's'-should be 'that lives', 'did'nt'-should be 'didn't' & 'my tear's'-should be 'my tears'. ok Ravensong
