The Yesterday My Tomorrow Brings

Accidental Poet



 

As I look to tomorrow

How will I look back on today?

Will I see it in the same light?

Will it help me find my way?

 

Yesterday is now gone

In the books it is said

But still, it lingers

Deep in the depths of my head

 

How much longer

Can I go on like this?

Wondering what will become of me

Is there something I missed?

 

Like an hourglass

The time passes by

Each grain of sand

Of when, how and why

 

I know, I know

Don’t overthink it

But it’s in the glass

And I’m inclined to drink it

 

Cause that’s what I do

I think till I’m drunk

Till I can’t think anymore

And my head goes kaplunk

        Yes, I’m an over thinker too and that’s why I’m an insomniac. I reflect on everything. Can’t help it. That’s the way my brain is wired and likely to stay. Your posted music though, is nice and relaxing. Good morning AP. Have a great Thursday.

          Thanks Cassie. Good morning to you too, and I hope your Thursday serves you well. 😁

            Please excuse my bad manners. I omitted to mention, apart from relating to your poem, it was beautifully penned 🙂

              Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

              • Accidental Poet

                Well, I wouldn't say evil, but just thinking how too quickly the days go by. Thanks 2781. 🤔

                I am quite sure if the truth be known there are many of us out here who think along similar lines .. this is a very sensitive, self disclosive & insightful lament .. but be sure I am with you write to the end sir ... Neville

                        Now I'm confused. This must be how Orchi feels. 🤔
