PAINS OF YESTERDAY

Michael Edwards

 

 

PAINS OF YESTERDAY

 

From tears to sleep

to float on waves of deep remorse

in silent seas of long lost souls

till rosy streaks in eastern skies

bring wakefulness

as night rains go

in nectarous flow

the prospect cleansed

of all the pains

 of yesterday.

    The pains of yesterday will always be forgotten as we go into each wonderful new day.

    • Michael Edwards

      Strange isn't it that the worries of the night fall into insignificance in the day.

    • dusk arising

      I like that, and it is so true. Another of life's gems, how sleeping on it changes ones viewpoint.

    • Fay Slimm.

      Deep and comforting these poetic words of conclusion on sleep's benefit Michael - thanks too for the peep at more of your amazing talent for watercolour.

      • Michael Edwards

        Thanks so much for your kind words as always dear Fay.

        A fine write and pic M. I wanted nectarous flow, so I went to Sainsburys (or wherever it is). They gave me Nectar points!

        • Michael Edwards

          And I got honey

          • orchidee

            Oh no, not the honey (I remember the poem!) lol. Am I put off honey for life?

              Things always look different in the morning.

            • Andrew Charles Forrest

              Wonderful thoughts Michael.
              Todays challenges and tomorrows worries are made more gentle by the number of yesterdays we have in the bank
              If only I could come back in a week and tell myself not to worry.
