I have climbed the mountains of wonder <br />I have seen the valleys of death <br />I have wakened the deaf with silence <br />I have suffocated immortals with breath <br /> <br />I have run from sure victory <br />I have stared in the face of defeat <br />I have bottled the wind from the ocean <br />I have prevailed when surely beat <br /> <br />All this I have done <br />All this and more <br />I know what the past is <br />But none of what's in store <br /> <br />Will the earth convulse in sadness? <br />Will dawn break and joy reign again? <br />Can we venture to the depths of space? <br />Can we travel to any when? <br /> <br />Confusion and a cacophony <br />Of breath and stilling air <br />The future does not matter <br />Because we are already there<br /><br />Violet Llewellyn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/there-is-no-future-it-s-not-what-you-think/
