The Future Ahead

I wonder I wonder
what will come next
what waits in the next chapter
around the next bend
it could be a RAPTOR!
or a great friend
I wonder I wonder
what will come next

to be from somewhere
with immovable roots
I wonder with what
could I travel with solid stone boots
or to sail around oceans
and fly in great planes
to travel all over
scattering my name

who could I meet
or how will things be
will I leave a trail
or will it disappear
right behind me?
will anyone follow
or lead the way
will I be on my own
til the end of the day?

or will my arms be full
with guidance at my side
can I keep going
without wanting to hide?

I wonder I wonder
what will come next
around that curve, that bend, that fence
will there be only hellos
or sweet sad good byes
can I make it on my own?

where will these maps take me
where will the compass point
I need that sweet feeling
the make me weak in the joint
make me crack
and even fall
to my knees and pleas

what will they say?
what dangers lay ahead?
I need that soft whisper
planted deep in my head

and I'll write down my stories
my sorrows
my glories
and picture
my memories
into albums for you
for you to remember
me back when
I said

I wonder I wonder
what will come next.

The Poet

I am not currently a published, nor a famous, poet, but I hope that maybe that could change. These are all my own poems, so please feel free to compliment, criticize, or simply comment on them. I would greatly appreciate it. Spread the word, too, if you like them enough!

And if you even want to request a poem by me, I'm your personal poet.
