Daily Prompt: This is Your Life

Day 33. If you could read a book containing all that has happened and will ever happen in your life, would you? If you choose to read it, you must read it cover to cover.

I gave this question a few seconds to set in and thought, no, definitely wouldn’t. So that said, here’s a poem I wrote a few years ago, slightly relevant, but then not. I’ll let you decide dear reader.

This World Unknown

Today I saw a world

of rolling hills and tiny brooks.

A small but grand village

seated be the sea.

A fortress of power

forbidden and eerie.

A building decayed and rotting

holding secrets of time long past.

A base where many men

defend us from the conflicts of others,

and a giant concrete span

where below flows troubled waters

cradling ships that carry goods from afar.

This world I now know,

things of long ago, things that are now

and things that are yet to pass.

But, I am wise to have seen such wonders,

because now in me this world exists.

by Sarah Neeve.
