Tombs to dreams

sorenbarrett

Tomorrow is a lie

Don't put your trust in illusory dreams

Kiss yesterday goodbye

Don't spend your days in mists of memories

All we have is today

Don't let it escape from your clasp

Don't let it slip away

Hang on, cling, clutch, hold it tight in your grasp

Tomorrow remains estranged

The smoke of time by the whirlwind is carried

Sediments of years can't be rearranged

Don't exhume the dead, leave them buried

      This poem touches every nerve. Truer words were never spoken. Each day is ours to make, and cherish, if only we have the wisdom to realize it. A very powerful write my friend, can't help but be a fav.

          All I have is now - dead right Soren.
          The 'dead' may well be true of tomorrow, but today is here, I have it, can use it. Yesterday cannot be changed.
          Confirm I understood every word of your poem. Important principle engaged with here.

            Dave thanks for the read. I know you read it in the present but now that is the past. Hopefully you'll read something else in the future. I wonder what you are reading now. Oh yea it must be this.

              life-affirmingly powerful message!
              thanks for sharing dear Poet
              'life's climb is ever easier
              if we empty our baggage
              as we go
              if we carry too much regret
              doubt we'll make it far
              before we break down...)
