Maybe the future is the past we owe each other

Put my hopes in with passion
and open up the floodgates

This life is not a shyness to be treated
like candlelight in a corner

Words

Thoughts Laughter
these are animals we need to be chasing
Where hesitation is a cage
emotion is freedom

So it should be
without breath
that we live
with something
like violence
between memory and detail

Chance
being not necessarily an opponent of certainty
but rather
an intense opportunity where understanding has waivered

We have to find ourselves there
amidst that battle between will and imagination
between this moment and our own souls
even if it is just to witness
an idea break upon
clarity's only shoulder

 

Loved this. Quite a bit of wisdom here and I resonate. It's interesting to me that each stanza has a slightly different format, it's kind of off beat in that way but it works. Some of the wording and phrasing is elegant, like a dance and that last line gives a great sense of closure.

 

Put my hopes in with passion
and open up the floodgates

This life is not a shyness to be treated
like candlelight in a corner

I really liked this...wow

I love it, but the title bashes my brains in lol

The future can never be owed, that we take every chance to free it for oneanother! ;D
