I am in a room
A room of images
Past, present and future
All are represented here

As I look into these images
And their mahogany frames
I realize that they are images
of me
Of times ahead, behind and those
now

I see a writer, weaving stories
I see a child, dreaming of
flying
A bunch of teenagers, playing
Nintendo
A soldier, fighting for his
country.

As the mist wraps and twists in
the room
I realize that these images of me
Past, present and future,
Represent choices made, and
those yet to come
