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.
