YOU ARE OVER THERE AND NEVER HERE, TOMORROW...

The chill cascading down my spine freezes my soul.
Sending waves of lost down my back.
Am I haunted? No.
But it feels that way, I could almost taste the coldness in my mouth.
I look around me, lost.
The heaviness on my shoulders weighing me down, down to my knees.

Hold on? Wait!? What is it am seeing?
Uncertainty invited to my table?
How am I to break bread with that which is as lost as I am?
Well then, I guess we are both up for the surrender...

As if my woes were not enough already.
Despair, cowardice, doubt, fear, became my companions for the ride.
Here I was, thinking to meet the future with open arms.
But uncertainty tags along my heels.
Making doubt and fear walk my steps.

So now I question the future.
''Who are you?''
How are you over there, and never here?
Some call you tomorrow. Tomorrow?, always never arrives.
What do you have for me when you leave your trail behind you?
It it hope?. Or a fulfillment of that which I yearn for?
Fear always embraces me when I think about meeting you.

I may not get to embrace you, but I will follow your trail and catch your scent.
I may not be able to stay in tomorrow with you,
But I can bring you into my present.

What can I say? you scare me! but I've learnt to embrace your shadow.
Because, you are mine; FUTURE...

I really enjoy the vivid image you create at the beginning. I can really feel the cold you evoke.
