Calling Fireflies Who Cannot See

kelley_backwardsInTime

Perhaps what we say is not today, but tomorrow
Read the book you will be writing, strange worlds unfurl
Anticipation becomes more than a one way street

The future’s a sight to see
Are you there with me?

Initial actions
Pre-umbral attractions
Pieces of the puzzle before the picture is pleased

The future’s a furious fight in me
Are you Locke or key?

A new dimension came years ago
Now our reflections our reflections show
We broke the ice on a shifting sea

The future’s a label maker stuck on E
Are you mouse molesting bourgeoisie?

Buzzing flowers in the field
A cross-pollinating swirl
Genuflect before the savior bee

The future’s a connective tree
Swing together singing shall we?

Machines smaller than the glazing of an eye
Sweetly wait to service you and I
Miracles will become convenient necessity

The future’s a sight to be
Are you there and free?

Some days we’ll live and thrive
Some days we’ll sigh and die
Just another Jesus complex simple in the sky

The future’s a dark marquee
Calling fireflies who cannot see

A year after this was posted by you... the answer will be yes.

Some days we’ll live and thrive
Some days we’ll sigh and die


And I'm so tired of the dying...

My mistake... I keep forgetting its 2007. So that should read "2 Years".

duh.
