Poems about the Future
“I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past. “
– Thomas Jefferson
~
Let us not worry
About the future.
Let us only do the right thing
Today,
At this moment,
Here and Now.
Let the future take care of
Itself.
~
The Future
The future: time’s excuse
to frighten us; too vast
a project, too large a morsel
for the heart’s mouth.
Future, who won’t wait for you?
Everyone is going there.
It suffices you to deepen
the absence that we are.
– Translated by A. Poulin
