After Today.

Fay Slimm.

 

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,
offering 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 smiles,
then await
tomorrow, not beaten by unwisely
housing doubt,
then maybe we can reconnect lost
loving touch,
repair our verve and dry wet eyes.


After today yesterday's fierce ache 
may become numb.

  • Edward Charles McDevitt

    Wow Fay! Again, inspiration! I, for the first time in my life, have real bluebirds that are nesting by my home! Not the mean Bluejay, but real, true Bluebirds!!!

      How exciting for you Edward - do write and tell us how those wonderful bluebirds fare - - here's wishing to hear they have a nest full of babies real soon.
