After Today
I shall find bluebirds adorning my sky
after today,
knowing tomorrow waits
holding a hand out,
healing the whys
of today with promise of change
and proffering faith
to my waiting heart which refuses
negation of love.
I resist relegating us to yesterday\'s
pyre and will renew,
after today, more positive outlook
as reminder that better
tomorrows not beaten by unwisely
housing acceptance
can re-spark lost connection
of firey touch, repair
our verve and dry wet eyes.
After today yesterday\'s raw aching
may then become numb.
