Future so Bright

































Being happy is probably the most important thing that I can think of in my future. Everyone always says to do what makes you happy, so that is my plan. I can’t imagine being happy without my friends and family. They are a part of me that can’t be replaced. I also can’t imagine a future where there are not at least a million books. Whether I have written them or not reading has been a lifelong passion that I see enduring through my entire life time. I also want painting to be a major part of my future. I have developed such a love and appreciation to many different forms of art and painting just heads the top of the list. I have always seen myself otherwise having a fairly simple future. Spending my rainy days inside and watching it pour with a smile. Also, cats for company. Cats are just something that has always been in my home and a home without cats just seems strange. Just one or two is enough for rainy day company.  Though I can’t see myself ever getting married, I have always seen myself being a parent. While I won’t exclude finding a significant other, I know children are a big part of my future.


I see it now
Surrounding
The rain
The sun
The colors flowing
Surrounding
Forming into
Shapeless rainbows and shades
of color yet to be seen
Voices and people
Melding into the sounds of
Rain and thunder
And words piling around me
I smile isn’t washed under
The rain flowing
From the open window
The words on the page blur
But I close my eyes
And they are still there
Swirling in the colors behind my eyelids as the
Rain patters across my cheeks
as soft as kitten fur
Seeking, wanting attention
The pattering of
Rain soon
Joins the background of the symphony
of voices and laughter
An yelling that
Surrounds me
A controlled chaos
That sounds of
Light
Of joy
The sounds of my happiness

The sound of my home

  1. Samantha,

    Terrific poem! You broke from your mold! This is great!

    Excellent, imaginative approach to this week's poem assignment. I really enjoy your vision board - awesome images and very cool concepts. Great goals. It's nice to see it all laid out in a visual essay. Great work!

    I am sure that you create many of these images for yourself as you venture forth... maybe somewhere new, maybe to a creative inner space. I think that being a writer is a great goal for you.

    Now try to imagine the path for that goal. What's it look like to you?
