NOW AND THEN

 

Tomorrow I shall not look

further than today's vision

of yesterday and its bleakest view.

Today  I look up at the surrounds

of my existence; As I venture forth to

my path of fate  I see  the alarms of

the earth warning my consciousness.

Snidely the sun dares shine on my

foreground; It only breaks through

where its previous heat beckons it

back to me. Forever then do I walk

forward with hope.
