The Future Calls
The future calls like an owl at night
At first I heard it and it gave me a fright
I’d never want to lose sight
Of the vision it gave me in the fading light
Traveling in the darkness, I walk alone
Talking to myself, only, are my feelings shown
But as I take this midnight hike
I cannot help but feel this burning psych
The future calls,
I heard it yearn
This is the last of the days I learn
But learn still should I
To look fate in the eye
And never let my future fade in the growing night
Never, said I, And let my feelings subside?
To let myself wander in the night?
Without my dreams in sight?
No, said I, I will not give up without a fight
I will survive this endless night
But my eyes bear the wieght in spite
The future is close but this wieght takes my sight
So as I hear the owl call again,
I lie back down my dreary head
And as I closed my eyes to skip the night,
I saw the glimmer of the morning light.
