She Said You Came Too Late

Written by: Jerome Malenfant

She Said You Came Too Late

She said, “You came too late; I cannot wait.” 
    Then I felt a cold wind blowing
    Out of the empty spaces,
    Out of the places where the futures lie,
    And where, unborn, they die.

     I remember earlier days 
     When my futures seemed to lie
     In a golden haze before me.
     But those days went away
     As I waited for them to arrive.
