The Outpost

We live on the edge of forever,
where all that we know is the past,
that frontier of time,
in the outpost of mind,
where all of our futures are cast.

Each soul is alone in their outpost
to observe the horizon ahead.
Unknown and unseen,
in the darkness between,
is that place in the gloom
where our future will bloom,
and the course of our life may be read.

So we stare ever forward toward darkness,
past the walls that encompass our post,
and search for those clues,
those 'don't's  and those 'do's,
that will serve to protect us the most.
