Poem Into The Future
By: Jehangir Saleh
Written: October 10, 2005

it is not that we have changed
I hesitate
to use wisdom, but it’s something
strength, or love has lifted us
carried us into our future

they are wrong
we have no goals
no dreams, no success
time is pointless, death inevitable

but when you hold me
I get back
everything I have lost

only in our stories and poems, only in our moments
will my life move forward
thinking

I have achieved
I am protected from death

in your arms, my life has an end, in your arms
I am carried into the future
