Future Tense

My body    my anger    my city

my people    my son

Who are these    Who are you

What are we    What are those

Where do we go    What is now

What is coming

Where does nature speak

What is it saying

What is the answer

What is the question

What is the future

to be    to do    to wait    to run

Prepare yourself    How can we prepare

The change    the change

What is the change

What does it mean

What is

What does

What will be

Break these bonds    break them

find yourself wandering

alone

The ache    the being    the acting

the one who acts    the one who knows

We find ourselves    again and again

we dream    we are opened

we look within

Life matters    life is the passage

of time

Time is    time acts    time will be

caught us

we are frozen in time

we are at death's doorway

we are over

over it

over

The future darkness

darkness matters    darkness and light

the light

We hope    we dream    life passing

life goes on    life is over

what is the call we heard

passing

passing us by    passing away

passing beyond

the shadows

Sing the light    to sing the light

there is nothing left to sing the light

the love    the hours    the life

bring us home    let the whole world go

Sliding into finish

the end    the terror    the wonder

the picture    the thought

the everything

Why are we here    why did we do this

who were we with

does it matter

does anyone care

The way    show me the way

show me love    show me the lovers

love is at the end of time

love is time

love is

love

death

love

Love plays the death card

love makes us alive

where do we go for answers

the arms    the head    the being

the body

who we are
