My Day

You are currently viewing My Day

Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.

Yesterday I was,

Today I am,

And,

Tomorrow I will be. 

.

The only thing that is constant

is—I. 

The rest changes

with time—like the tenses

of grammar—and the way I write.

I know yesterday so well,

But today is not yesterday 

As I know it.

Today is today.

I opened my eyes to the

unknown of today

That is here and now.

A day filled with mysteries,

Known as today, 

When looking at yesterday 

And tomorrow. 

And the question.

How is your day?

Answered 

each day

By

taking a step back, 

Back into the known of Yesterdays 

to figure out, and to answer

the how, the what, the where,

the why of today. 

And the next, to the next

Todays,

To come.

.

How is your day?

.

Today is my natal day.

.

I know yesterday so well,

It is, from many known yesterdays

Leading to today 

Being my natal day

For me to know.

So—how is my day?

My day is—stepping back into

The known Yesterday

To know where I am standing 

With my two foot Today

Allowing me to look around

At today that is here and now.

And to lift my eyes past

Where I was yesterday and

Where I am planted today,

With my eyes traveling and

growing over, under, between 

And above 

To,

Tomorrow.

It is the eyes that travels forward,

Guided by the Yesterdays,

and the Todays. 

Distracted, confused

and applauded,

By Yesterday, Today, 

On its journey to,

Tomorrow

.

How is my day?

My day is

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. 

I was, I am, and I will be.
