Winds Of Tomorrow By Paul Wilson There’s a strange feeling riding the winds of tomorrow Prophets speak of death destruction and sorrow Who knows what the future holds will stars and moon seal our fate Will mountains rise up from the sea will God swing open Heavens gate Stories have been told by many one day earth will be no more Words written in blood by those that were here before Shall we heed their warnings or throw caution to the wind Into the darkness dreams may fall or is it all just pretend Winds of time will always blow seeds of today into tomorrow Who will find and plant them will they tell our tales of sorrow Perhaps we’ve used all our tomorrows and rain will wash away our legacy No memory of our existence will be found is this how it was meant to be ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ Paul |

A somber piece of writing. I like somber writing, so I like this. You raise many questions. The world seems to be going the hell in that old familiar hand-basket. Each day brings some kind of new horror. We have perfected the way to hate. ~ Logical argument is what destroys poetry because poetry is beyond logic.—Robert Graves ~ |

Jerry Pat2...From a fellow Louisiana resident to another, thanks for taking time to read and for your reply. Like you said it really does seem like we are on a one way road to self destruction. Hopefully things will turn around so our future generations can enjoy the same things we did and improve on it. Thanks Again...Paul ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

You have written an excellent piece of poetry, dear Paul. I don't think that we have used up all of our tomorrows but the times are no doubt extremely critical. Our Mother Earth is so beautiful and we have not loved or respected her enough and worse even we have not learned yet to love and respect each other. But we will learn one day, the sooner the better. Love, Margherita |
