beyond song

destiny is not only the future
it’s the promise of elsewhere
a network beyond the face of time
are you ready to raise the visor
are you ready to smile at the eons
to kiss goodbye the bones of time
or maybe break the bones with a trumpet
destiny is the future’s music
strumming at the edges of time
sing like there’s a yestermorrow
buzz them all with a found falsetto
nail the meta to the ghost of time
destiny is not the only future
there’s also the promise of elsewhere

  3. Very uplifting and inspiring piece, Tony! The final lines really took it home for me

    “destiny is not the only future

    I love the “promise of elsewhere” because the future is not just a different place in time, but it’s a different place to be in, all together–a different physical space, a different mentality, a different emotional maturity. It’s as if life is an adventure, therefore we’re traveling from one place to another as time goes on.

    Happy holidays, my friend!
