Fast Forward
In your mind, fast forward into tomorrow;
to imagine what your future may bring;
bypassing all the tears, and every sorrow;
dream of life’s song, you’re ready to sing.
In our minds, we’ve created that which we’ll be;
the journey, upon which, we’re to embark;
conceived in the mind, what the eyes cannot see;
made visible; only after dark.
Accomplishments whiz by, at blinding speed;
for they’re only our thoughts, after all;
though we’re seeking success; its love we need;
for success is merely destiny’s call.
Invisible thoughts bring happiness and grief;
involving what likely won’t even occur;
dreams of the future, just deflect our belief;
awakening, becomes life’s only cure.
What we call “life” is actually our thought;
a self portrait we’d like to devise;
when fast forwarding, no truth is brought;
forcing us each, to improvise.
Dreams all began, planted as seeds in the soul;
encapsulating all that we need to know;
wreaking havoc, and destruction, is their role;
for heartbreak and sorrows help us grow.
Continue to fast forward; beyond all sorrows;
future wisdom holds much, we need know;
the mind will awaken those future tomorrows;
experience is the fertilizer that helps us grow.
