Memories of Tomorrow

Stood erect against the wall

up in the dusty attic of the universe,

is a repository holding amorphous images of the future.

How shall these malleable memories take shape

seeing that a single word, thought, voice

or deed have unbelievable potential

to create a reality reachable in fathomless ocean depths?

Using prior knowledge with a little luck

and courage as ingredients, they generate

a tomorrow into a today.

Memories of tomorrow are made in the cauldron.

They synthesize experiences of one's individual

life and circumstances.

A memory of tomorrow, although formless,

will always be nascent of today.

Whatever failures, whatever successes,

or of happiness or sorrow,

let the past serve as a backbone

to brighter possibilities.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I came up with a title after seeing an advertisement for a movie (it isn't American).  After that I let my mind wander with that title to what I can create.

I appreciate your comment very much, and I really like this poem. I like how you flowed with the title first. I'd also like ot explain that I write when I'm feeling something I dont quite understand, if that makes sense. I write usually when it is a bad feeling. I am not as horribly depressed as my poems reveal, lol. Thank youo for the awesome advice and have a great day! Kepp on writin!!
