#past-future

had i been born a thousand years ago,

i surely would have been templar or witch.

of the two, i cannot yet decide which.

it’s so long past, the ancient gods might know.

had i been born a thousand years ahead,

timeseer or starsettler i might claim,

maybe hardcoded into my geneframe.

time elusive, forward destiny fled.

i stand now, no path or prophecy seen.

today, the world falls open — in between.

old hunts new,

new hunts old,

slow and sure, driving us over the ridge,

past-future, i might build the joining bridge.
