Time Walker; Afraid of Tomorrow: A Poem
Ebizimor loves writing, especially poetry and has being writing poetry since childhood.
Time Walker: Afraid of Tomorrow
I fear for my life
I fear for my soul
Where is it going?
I dare to restore
I fear for tomorrow
I fear for its light
I fear it will never burn bright
If it ever arrives
I fear for my tears
They will dry up one day
I fear for my eyes
They will long for sight
I fear all these bones
Will turn watery
For my rumpled skin to consume
I fear for its cold, I fear its doom
I fear for the day will
Cease its light
And the night when
The moon withdraws its glow
I fear my roam would not have an end
I fear my clock will stop
Ticking so quickly
That my road will end so abruptly
I fear old age will come
And I’d like to go back the road
Where I’m coming from and where I ran from –
– back to childhood
Where my nascent bones shall have no fear
