Our futures are found

In the margins of a notebook

In the empty space overshadowed

By the stories of the past and present

 

Our futures are found

On the edges of a sunset

A tiny piece of the day’s end

Turning over for a new sunrise

 

Our futures are found

In the silence between heartbeats

The unlived moments gathering force

Pushing us to fill them with potential

 

Our futures are found

In the stillness before storms

With the air holding its breath

For the lives we will begin

 

Our futures are found

In the darkness between stars

To where we shall run, leap, and fly

And illuminate the night
