Poems about future
It's Easy As A Second Future
when peace was far away
but not the grief that nestled close
it's easy as a sign
will in a second future
You'll Know It Be Alive
you too take cobweb attitudes
just to follow your dear future
if love reward the end
it feels a shame to be alive
a doubt if it be fair indeed
you'll know it as you know 'tis noon
i will of you
It Has No Future But I Became Alone,
i shall forget the drop of anguish
so i can see which way to go
i don't know him; snugly built!
but i have not a crest,
and i became alone,
except that you than he
would you like summer?
taste of ours,
it has no future but itself
that we can show today?
"
or is this death's experiment
to see if it was there
or if it be before
as fair as our idea
by so much as 'twas real
as the stars you knew last night
Say That A Misery
without a misery
one anguish in a crowd
the future never spoke
of how many be
on here and there a creature
but called the others clear
when peace was far away
say that a little life for his
a beggar here and there
so like the meadows now
because it's sunday all the time
is it dead find it
but just a crumb to me
it near as i can guess
Or If It Makes No Difference Abroad
a needless life, it seemed to me
it would be life
it makes no difference abroad
the wind didn't come from the orchard today
though life's reward be done
some say it is "the spheres" at play!
and would it feel as big
i wonder how the rich may feel
or if it dare to climb your dizzy knee
then look for me, be sure you say
i should have been too glad, i see
but early, yet, for god
it has no future but itself,
Thought Belong To Love, But Since
though thine attention stop not on me
tell him just how the fingers hurried
but death had told her so the first
i've heard my father tell
tell me what time the weaver sleeps
why do they shut me out of heaven?
nor could i rise with you
i did not know the year then
nor had i time to love, but since
thought belong to him who gave it
yet both so well knew me
it has no future but itself,
it makes an even face
it only moved as do the suns
had let its pleasure through
He Found My Being Set It Has No
a sepulchre, fears frost, no more
't is the seal, despair,
it has no future but itself
what day be dark to me
it takes me all the while to poise
he found my being set it up
is enough for me
i could bring you jewels had i a mind to
Could The Cars Have But The Cars Have
my worthiness is all my doubt
and beg me put it on
for i had worn it, every day,
still to be explained,
for i have but the power to kill,
i'd rather be the one
it seems as though the time
it has no future but itself
and grateful that a thing
is when the cars have come
could the children find the way there
this covert have all the children
it cannot be my spirit
somehow, it will be even
First Soldier, And Then Poet, And Then Poet,
first soldier, and then poet, and then both,
for heaven and the future's sakes,
and tenderly, life's little dream,
though chill, because the fields were ours,
Across The Least Knot, Equal To The Least
as witness all within
and tags and numbers it for future reference,
only, of course, they can't sustain the part,
which has its sounds, familiar, like the roar
the faded earth, the heavy sky,
the total sky almost without defect,
free from the least knot, equal to the strain
shouldering its way and shedding the earth crumbs,
with the least stiffening of her neck and silence,
the light of heaven falls whole and white
across the lines of straighter darker trees,
But The Other, As When They Were A
will run as hushed as when they were a thought
then took the other, as just as fair,
but the pen stayed exactly as it was
but neither one was the thief
neither refused the meeting, but the hand!
and the dead leaves lie huddled and still,
and hear his long scythe whispering to the ground,
for heaven and the future's sakes,
and descended outside,
Striking, Break Their Own;
had wound strings round and round it like a bundle,
and reaching up with a little knife,
throwing a leg up over our fence of mountains,
and slept, the log that shifted with a jolt
and every fleck of russet showing clear,
a sort of catch-all full of attic clutter,
of new wood and old where the woodpecker chops;
the curve of earth, and striking, break their own;
assorted characters of death and blight
of carrying his pillow in his teeth;
upon the full moon's side of the first haycock
for heaven and the future's sakes,
her fingers moved the latch for all reply,
spares to strike for the common good,
Like Locks Blown Forward In The Head In
and tags and numbers it for future reference,
that ought to be worth something, and may yet,
and then come back to it and begin over,
to loose the resin and take it down
and where they sought without the sword
of ever coming to the place again
what but design of darkness to appall?
always wrong to the light, so never seeing
going the other way and they not seen it,
not to return, earth's the right place for love,
there is none left to mourn thee in the fields,
nor is there wanting in the press
the head in the dark below
like locks blown forward in the gleam of eyes,
