Steps into the Future
(villanelle)
The future may inspire and astound
With things like holograms and flying cars
But future’s subject to the here and now
With things like holograms and flying cars
But future’s subject to the here and now
The visionaries
skillfully expound
Of rocket-ships that soar beyond the stars
The future may inspire and astound
Of rocket-ships that soar beyond the stars
The future may inspire and astound
New mysteries are
waiting to be found
Ideas flow, from wise to the bazaar
But future’s subject to the here and now
Ideas flow, from wise to the bazaar
But future’s subject to the here and now
The big and small
mistakes we make abound
Let’s take a lesson from our wounds and scars
The future may inspire and astound
Let’s take a lesson from our wounds and scars
The future may inspire and astound
What wonders lie
ahead and all around
By moving step by step we can go far
But future’s subject to the here and now
By moving step by step we can go far
But future’s subject to the here and now
Toward fruits of daily choices we are bound
Let’s contemplate our actions
and take pause
The future may inspire and astound
But future’s subject to the here and now
