Generations

Published by • Oct 26th, 2009 • Category: Poetry

by HorseFeathers, age 16

Time passes with each breath
every heartbeat, every thought

Each second that I live
will never come again

I have grown, I have laughed, and I have cried
I have seen old steeds pass on and
the rebirth of new foals

I have watched the wild horses return
from the mountains to spring pastures
season after season

I do not wish to live in the future
because it is not my time or my place

Every autumn I plant an acorn
in the fields where the yearlings play

For I know that when I am long gone
they will still be here standing strong

and silent with the generations.

    HorseFeathers, that was, just, well, CHAMPION!!!!! Super job! Very pensive (yes, I love big words). Nice and descriptive, and it’s kind of a rainy day poem. Beautiful!

    ‘I do not wish to live in the future because it is not my time or my place’ – everybody could learn a lesson from that! Awesome poem

    Thanks mates i appreciate the comments! HorseWhipsers- yeah i added that line because i always seem to be thinking about the future. I sometimes wish i was born later instead of now.But then i realize God placed me in this time for a reason. Thanks again everyone

    God does everything for a reason…that’s what i saw in that line of the poem ‘I do not wish to live in the future because it is not my time or place’. Lovely poem, very good. Keep writing!
